In praise of the spreadsheet

Communication. Communication. Communication. Everyone from pioneering couples therapist John Gottman to contestants on The Bachelor say that romantic relationships live and die based on communication. But what does that actually mean? It can’t be just talking with each other more, right? I know plenty of partners who talked all the time but still had issues that eventually tore them apart. When things get tense in my relationship, I draw on five communication tools I’ve learned from therapist...

do we put our ambition now?

One of the most vivid memories from my youth is the day I got my SAT scores. I had taken them as a junior, so I’d have time to repeat them if I wasn’t happy with the result. But as I stood in front of the mailbox and ripped open the envelope, that worry evaporated. My scores were even higher than I’d hoped. Most importantly, they were higher than my brother’s. My older brother was an excellent student. He was in every advanced class, won all the scholarships, was easily his class valedictoria...

Work From Office

Work from home is polarizing. Last week I was on Smerconish, and after articulating the benefits of remote work for four minutes, I spent 30 seconds on the downsides: Offices are where young professionals establish relationships with mentors, colleagues, and mates. In sum: Put on a shirt and get into the office. Cue the Tesla-bro-like pushback. On Twitter: “Garbage,” “It’s not 1954 anymore,” “Really dumb take.” In sum … you know … Twitter. Remote work generates heat because it matters … a lot...

Here’s How You Can Make $2 Million — No BS

You may have heard stories in the past about how a cleaner was able to save a million dollars on his journey, or how a salaried employee saved more money than you ever imagined by working continuously. These are genuine stories, to be honest. They may, however, lack the desire to spend more, to purchase luxury products, and so on. In a nutshell, their lives are more simpler, and they are content with what they have. But, yeah, we don’t like them. Please don’t think about saving money because ...

Tales of the Startup Uncertainty Principle

Following the publication of my article on the Startup Uncertainty Principle, I had a lot of fascinating conversations with founders who have gone through the same journey and experienced the same impossible decisions early on. To recap, the idea of the Startup Uncertainty Principle is probably best summarized by this line from the original article: “Given that a startup doesn’t know which bet will pan out, there will always be a tradeoff between its desire to strengthen its commitment to any...

Designing in the Open(Source)

Whatever the moment calls for, there’s an emoji for that. Overcoming language barriers, communicating nuance or humor, softening feedback that might otherwise sound harsh — if all the world’s a digital stage, the 21st century players are emoji. These essential communicators have become so important that we refreshed our entire emoji library last year as part of ongoing efforts to make Microsoft 365 a more expressive ecosystem than ever before. But what’s even better than a vibrant array of re...

In praise of the spreadsheet

Most of us could only dream of designing something as successful as the spreadsheet. It is so ubiquitous, so seemingly timeless and elemental, that today one has a hard time imagining it being designed by humans at all, as if it emerged magically of its own volition from somewhere deep in the mists of computing history. Its patterns and logic are now accepted and ingrained to the point that, as designers, we co-opt them for our own purposes, assuming they will make our own designs more unders...

If the world knew what the world knows

Genius and stupidity seem to coexist at an unprecedented scale in our world. As Edward Olsen said, the interplay between our paleolithic brain, medieval institutions, and advanced tech is at the root of many of our struggles. The collective intelligence emerging from those three elements is constantly tested and often fails — from populism to social media gone awry, to pandemic unpreparedness and climate change. It often feels like we are fighting tomorrow’s challenges with yesterday’s intell...

Even In a Crazy Market: The “First Ten” Rule

Hiring is harder than ever — but that doesn’t mean you should compromise on who joins your team. Or maybe, it means you need to select for something deeper than “years of experience in a similar role/function.” I have a rule that has guided hiring strategy at my last two companies: every hire should be someone we would want as one of our first ten team members. If you hire those types of people, your team will continually adapt, initiate, and problem-solve, and your company will grow beyond y...
