    Internalizing the owner’s delusion as something to explicitly protect against has been one of the most important things I’ve learned in the last five years. (To be clear: still learning it.) Cultivating that instinct across a organization of thousands is wonderfully difficult.

    The sad truth is that 100% of venture firms with >3 male GPs and 0 women just don't care and are actively prioritizing other things.

    One objection I had: the iPad project was *not* a startup within Apple. Occasionally, you have small, independent still-being-defined products and teams that can change the shape of a company (like ahem *cough* Stripe Checkout). But it's not a startup.

    Confession: I love soda. I don't drink it nearly as much I'd like to, but 4/5 times I'd choose a chilled Coke (...or Dr Pepper or Mountain Dew) over a fresh pastry.

    Every year I do a big macro presentation. This year, ‘Standing on the shoulders of giants’; we connected everyone (!), and wonder what's next, but meanwhile, connecting everyone means we connected all the problems. Tech is becoming a regulated industry

    Another good one: AWS. I get an email weekly saying they'll suspend my account for an unpaid $0.40 I once spent 30 minutes trying to figure out to how to pay and now just don't bother. *Please* suspend my account.

    Slack is the worst product I use that others consider well-designed. What's yours?

    A small detail I hate: when you authorize a free download from the Apple App Store, there’s a brief moment it displays “processing payment”. So lazy.

    Checkout EM was (more or less) the first role I had at Stripe. It's an awesome product; NYC people, consider applying.

    Any criticism of Dara as a CEO should really be criticism of him as an ex-investment banker. He inherited a bunch of bad, overvalued businesses started by Travis. Given the hand Dara was dealt, I think he's actually done quite well. But... he should have known better.

    I love putting on an album you listened to while cranking out work years ago and immediately getting back in to the zone. The Black Keys' "Brothers" (2010) is one of those for me.
