depending on which dictionary you search, I’m someone who sort of kind of fall under the age group of a gen z. growing up, i was raised in the universes created through msn, maple story, deviant art, and also the early instagram where you’d tag every post with #follow4follow
now that I’m building new tools and environments for myself and others to spend time in, i have been wondering: what makes a space worth staying in?
📝 i recently wrote a bullet list of everything I’ve learned about product building in the last three months and shared it with a few friends. then, a friend pointed one of the bullet point: “expressivity is a feature, but not a killer feature.” and commented how it hurts to have this kind sof realization. that was a memorable moment to savour; i used to believe expressivity is a killer feature but to be honest, it’s actually quite relieving to arrive at this point where i know it’s not. being clear headed is better than being blindly lying to myself i suppose
🧲 as i've been working on sprout and going through the “soul searching” phase, i’m constantly thrown into different situations that i need to learn to handle:
- how to ensure everyone feel challenged, validated, and fun from work?
- what is the right question to frame for us, that’ll make this feel like a quest that’s challenging but possible?
- how can we seek small wins on a day-to-day basis, while aiming for the meaningful wins (which take time)?
there are a lot more but these are some of the top-of-mind questions living in my head rent free right now ☠️
