Mark Zuckerberg on how he builds products “When things are working well, you use data and the qualitative feedback you’re getting from listening to how your community is using your product to tell you what problems to go solve. And then you basically use intuition to figure out what the solutions to those problems might be. And then you test those hypotheses by rolling them out and getting more data and feedback.” Mark uses News Feed as an example. “It was a relatively big shift for the product, but it had actually been a couple of years in the making from just watching how people were using the service.” The early Facebook team could see from their data that lots of users were clicking on friends' profiles to see what changed. This helped them realize that their users weren't only interested in looking up their friends' profiles, but they were also interested in monitoring the day-to-day changes. They then rolled out a simple version News Feed to test their hypothesis: “The first version of News Feed was really simple. All it did was it basically took the content that people were posting and put it in order on your homepage.” They used a combination of data and intuition to iterate from there, but this simple insight and experiment led to massive shift in product direction. And it highlights what a good product process looks like: listen to your users to identify problems, and treat your solutions as hypotheses. Source: @ycombinator (Aug 2016)

Really enjoyed having @markiplier at @YouTube HQ. After 14 years of learning by doing, Mark drew on his YouTube experience to write, direct, edit, star in and self-finance Iron Lung. As he put it, “YouTube is the new film school.” What I appreciated most was hearing how much that process was shaped by his years creating content on YouTube: constantly learning new skills, adapting when things don’t go as planned, and being honest with his audience along the way. Mark bet on himself and ultimately brought Iron Lung to 4,000+ theaters worldwide, thanks to the community he’s built over the years. It’s inspiring to see creators opening up new paths in entertainment and I have a feeling there's plenty more to come from Mark!

A few years from now, nobody is going to remember how many likes you got on a random post. They’ll remember how you made them feel. I learned that the hard way. Some of the posts I’m most proud of barely got noticed. Meanwhile, some of the ones that performed best were forgotten within days. The numbers looked great, but they didn’t leave a mark on anyone, including me. That’s when I realized attention and impact are not the same thing. Attention is easy to measure. Impact isn’t. One disappears with the next scroll. The other stays with someone long after they’ve closed the app. That’s why I’ve started caring less about reach and more about whether something I share is actually worth reading. Not because it’s the best strategy. Because life is too short to spend it saying things you don’t believe. Part of why @RallyOnChain stands out to me is that it pushes people to contribute ideas, not just collect impressions. So here’s something I’ve been thinking about: If every post you’ve ever made disappeared tomorrow, which one would you still be proud of?

.@travisk says only 1% of VCs are actually helpful: “ An operator who's running a company, if they're good, is a grandmaster of chess.”  ”And the VC is a chess enthusiast. They check in on the chess match once every three months and they're trying to make a mark on the world. They have an opinion.” “And you're like, don't go to Jordan and tell him how to dunk, and definitely don't go to him and tell him how to dribble. But it's hard because everybody has an opinion.” “The way to think about it is—you're on the Serengeti. If an antelope limps in the Serengeti, the lion will take it down, even if it's not hungry. Can't even fucking help it. It's just what he does. That's kind of the nature of most VCs.”
