Episode 201: The 10 pillar strategy

"This week there has been a lot of confusion on social media” around MeetUp charging more, along with the launch of a rival service at LinkedIn. Yeah, we get deep into LinkedIn talk! Then we discuss into what exactly a GitLab is.

Mood board:

• Hard to come down on a definitive opinion on carrots.


• We can educate Coté.


• Learning from each other, the more you know!


• There’s a lot of kube shit.


• Non-subjugating windows.


• Anyone can do a hyphen, you have to go out of your way to do an em-dash.


• What’s a ‘fixie’?


• HOT LINKEDIN ETHICS DEBATE.


• You’re probably using the Twitter webpage and following the “Suggested Follows.”


• There have been reports in social media.


• It’s the chaos monkey for business models.


• We can Armchair Product Management this thing.


• I've been asked if crocodiles are considered "pescatarian-friendly."


• It’s kind of like the yaml version of the Rational dream.


• The whole rest of the world was putting together best of breed tools.


• If you say so, Grammerly.


• “Monty-python simulation”


• Stay out of the room Mr. AI!


• It’s paper size A-somebullshit.


• We’re puttin’ the Plan column back on!


• Space carpets.
