“Certainly near the end it is nice to look back at a life of accomplishments rather than a life where you have merely survived and amused yourself.
Thus in a real sense I am preaching the messages that (1) it is worth trying to accomplish the goals you set yourself and (2) it is worth setting yourself high goals.”
~ Richard W. Hamming

Goal
To become one of the most relevant, prolific, and impactful full-stack product designers in the world.
Measure: by the quality, quantity, and outcomes of the products I participate in bringing to market.

Working Principles

• The product is focused — it does very little, very well
  Purpose: scope — limit the amount of problems being solved
• The product is being exposed to real users in less than a month
  Purpose: validation — know as soon as possible if it’s solving the problem by way of prototype or build
• The product is of great quality, not of perfect quality
  Purpose: quality — i want to build reliable and desirable products but not perfect ones, software should be responsive to fluctuating needs, perfection is wasteful
• The product is emotionally insightful
  Purpose: poetry — acutely aware of the user and their emotions
