Recently switched from the audience targeting team to the ads UI foundations team. It’s been tough, but getting to learn a ton of new tech and work with a ton more cross-functional teams. Definitely an uncomfortably exciting role 🧠

Took the plunge with a Switch 2. Never owned a switch before. Got the Mario Kart bundle and TotK. What other games should I get? I’m a very passive gamer.

At first, you panic and wonder if it’s the off-screen entity from Bird Box that drives people to death if looked at. But then, just as quickly, you feel it: a deep, primal rage. The future isn’t just coming for us; it’s coming in the shape of a post-apocalyptic wedge that was designed by someone who still owns the Entourage movie on Blu-ray. It’s the Cybertruck, and it’s here to ruin your whole day.

Up until recently, the industry was pretty stagnant. We had been relying on outdated ideas like “ready for market,” “finished product,” and “works reasonably well.” We were all stuck selling products that broke only after a few years. Now, we’re finally innovating by cutting to the chase and selling products that are already broken
