Would anyone else stuck with a bunch of subscriptions on Authorize.net like to see Stripe come up with an easy way to transition over? That would be incredible.

Note to self: it's as simple as creating the most popular YouTube video of all time. Done and done. Say you're independent and have a decent hit -- 100,000 views. Earnings: $870.

I have no read on market size, but it seems like there are apps that would benefit from having a fully-baked, built-in email tool.

This view on pivoting reflects the Groupon pivot fallacy where you just dramatically change your business model and, poof, you're a billionaire.

What we've found to be a more tolerable, easy-to-execute view on pivoting is to say, we know what general problem we're focused on solving, but we don't know exactly how to solve it.

Pivots are therefore continual and small. We probe in various directions hypothesizing that a certain approach might help us make headway. Among other things, lowering the stakes and testing in small, bite-sized pieces will make it much easier to sell a new idea to your team.

The sentiment in this post reflects a larger frustration with Malcolm Gladwell's oversimplified, reductionist writing in which complex systems are dumbed down into highly marketable archetypes.

Not surprising, just fascinating how good they are at it. Each headline begs a simple "who, what, how, why" question. Often I click on things I don't even care about because I...just...have...to...scratch...that...itch!!! :)

Also, amusingly, you referenced Tufte as designing an airplane cockpit -- looks pretty similar to the dashboard being lampooned in this blog post.
