One of the startups in my Startups Worth Watching list*, @Fig, is making massive progress. I love the new dashboard, the “dotfiles” feature, and the upcoming “access” feature. It has now become the first app I install on a new computer after the browser.

Speaking of #Whisper, I’ve been testing it in the last two days and it’s phenomenal at removing pause fillers like um, hmm, ah.

And it works great with YouTube videos. https://t.co/kA3BQy4S5V

RT @amasad: You know that feeling when you eyeball a piece of code that’s clearly repetitive, but you’re lazy to refactor?

Just ask @Repli…

When is the last time that you heard a CEO or an SVP/VP saying “That strategic decision was wrong”? Without that example, obviously, nobody wants to be held accountable for a decision.

So, no risky decisions are ever taken except when it’s unavoidable. Which is always too late.

and a lot of metrics that penalize risk-taking.

Plus, the top leadership rarely shows examples of accountability that the rest of the workforce can admire and follow.

A large organization de facto discourages employees from taking controversial decisions. Nobody wants to be fired, and nobody is encouraged to do mistakes. And that’s because a large org has a lot of functions dedicated to risk mitigation (Legal, PR/AR, HR, etc.). https://t.co/15lY4O15Go

“Marketing is product design, customer service, pricing, customer delight and creating and living a remarkable story. Marketing is creating the conditions for the network effect.

And yet, the typical CMO isn’t in charge of ANY of those things.”
