a product that I love and I'm an investor in. So, full disclosure, you know, love it so much I invested uh, is retro. Really beautifully built product for a small group and friends, family, photo sharing. And just the way they've executed this is so well done. So if you're not using already, definitely check it out.
Lenny's Podcast, "Figma's CEO: Why AI makes design, craft, and quality the new moat", lightning round, favourite product; his own spoken answer (YouTube captions). He discloses he is an investor in it.
Um and then understanding comics, it's I think just like a it's almost like an HCI book, but it's it seems like it's not. Uh so it's it's a great way to explore just like how do people perceive and and it's just wonderful the way that it's dealt deals with abstraction.

Understanding comics is a good one. The Spy and the Trader. Uh that's whatever hard situation you're going through. You read that book and you're like, "Okay, could be worse."

Uh, Pantheon. Uh, really good one, and I won't spoil it, but just go watch it. It's animated, so hopefully something you like. But, uh, it is also a really interesting sci-fi exploration of a possible future. Not every detail is right from a scientific standpoint, but if you can get past that, it's really, really cool.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Hardware, services4 years
Software5 years
Podcasts, courses, other8 years
Books25 years
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
