really great read from.a former Instagram designer on the dysfunction of today’s largest tech companies.
There is a tension; the longer you remain committed to a single cause of greatness, the more incapable you become of being good enough at everything else.
If building something great isn’t painful, you’re probably not building the best you can. Arguments, mis-steps, fights, back-tracking, re-discovering, frustration, throwing it away, trying again - these are all painful requirements for build a great product.
