Instagram is on the brink of fundamental change: On Monday night, cofounders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger resigned amid rising tensions with the app’s parent company, Facebook.
“Mike and I are grateful for the last eight years at Instagram and six years with the Facebook team,” Systrom wrote on the company’s website, adding “We’re now ready for our next chapter.” In a statement to The New York Times, Mark Zuckerberg said “I wish them all the best and I’m looking forward to seeing what they build next.”

Companies have developed mission statements for years. It helps guide them by defining who they are and why they do what they do. Coca-Cola’s mission statement, for example, is “To refresh the world. To inspire moments of optimism and happiness. To create value and make a difference.” For Google it’s “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”

I had to chuckle recently when I realized just how complex some of the systems in my life are, even if I rarely think about the details.
- Most nights, I weigh myself on a Withings wifi scale (an older version).
- That data syncs over Google Wifi, via a Comcast Xfinity connection, to the Nokia/Withings Health Mate service.
- Then MyFitnessPal automatically syncs the data from Health Mate, and keeps a copy,
- before Garmin Connect also syncs a copy to integrate back with other data (like heart rate and activities) .
- If I’ve been doing specific activities, then some of the data from Garmin Connect (although not that weight info) will also sync out to Strava and create activity records.
The last step remaining is that I want to hook up my copy of WordPress to sync all of the data back so that I have a copy under my direct control.

10 Bootstrapping Lessons from the Creator of Managed WordPress Hosting – Indie Hackers
12 years ago, my talented wife and I had an idea for something known today as “Managed WordPress Hosting.”
Yes, I’m half of the inventor of managed WordPress hosting, which is now a multi-billion dollar hosting channel, and you’ve likely never heard of me.
That’s because Pagely, the managed WordPress company I co-founded isn’t venture funded, and it’s not on Fortune’s list of billion-dollar unicorns. We were then, and still are very much today – Indie Hackers.

Leadership is not a spot on the org chart, or a role someone can assign you, or a set of facts you can memorize. Leadership is a muscle that every one of us has to exercise. It helps to have a set of peers you can be radically vulnerable with, who you can swap stories and experiences with and hold each other accountable.

In isolated regions, JD.com is expanding its reach, creating on-the-ground jobs and testing drone delivery. Will villagers be less tempted to leave for the big city?
Illustration by Jun Cen
Xia Canjun was born in 1979, the youngest of seven siblings, in Cenmang, a village of a hundred or so households nestled at the foot of the Wuling Mountains, in the far west of Hunan Province. Xia’s mother was illiterate, and his father barely finished first grade. The family made a living as corn farmers, and had been in Cenmang for more generations than anyone could remember. The region was poor, irrigation was inadequate—the family often went hungry—and there were few roads. Trips to the county seat, Xinhuang, ten miles away, were made twice a year, on a rickety three-wheeled cart, and until the age of ten Xia didn’t leave the village at all. But he was never particularly unhappy. “When you are a frog at the bottom of the well, the world is both big and small,” he likes to say, referring to a famous fable by Zhuangzi, the Aesop of ancient China, in which a frog, certain that nowhere can be as good as the environment he knows, is astonished when a turtle tells him about the sea. As a child, Xia said, he was “a happy frog,” content to play in the dirt roads between the mud houses of the village.

The 6 Causes of Professional Burnout And How To Avoid Them
Burnout: It’s a word that gets thrown around often, especially among busy, working professionals: “If things around here don’t slow down soon, I’m headed for burnout!”.
The truth, however, is that a busy schedule alone isn’t enough to trigger professional burnout.
Christina Maslach, creator of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and author of The Truth About Burnout, has identified six “mismatches” that make a person more likely to burn out – and only one of these factors is too much work: “[I]t is a common belief that there is just one dimension to job stress, work overload. Indeed, overload is often considered to be a synonym for stress. But in our burnout model, overload is only one of six mismatches in the workplace. And it’s not always the most critical, especially it things are going well in some of the other areas.”

The first rule of building a valuable product is that it should be valuable for someone. Meaning, an actual, real-life person (or many such people) should have some problem or desire addressed because of your work.
This is pretty obvious. And yet, if you listen to the everyday language of builders, this isn’t always how we’re talking.

There are a lot of resources out there that talk about salary negotiation but many tend to skew a bit theoretical.

What are the social norms? And so on.

The Product Manager Problem – Pingpad
The Product Manager Problem
Ever since the Product Manager role was created to bring decision making as close to customers as possible, it has been an art and science of collaborating with stakeholders. The problem today is how to scale collaboration with your stakeholders, when the signal-to noise ratio is out of control:
- Customers overwhelmed with choice and information to inform buying decisions, and have less time to engage
- Markets more competitive, global, connected, and constantly disrupted
- Information overload permeates inside the enterprise with a constant real time flow
- Your internal stakeholders (management, engineering, design, sales, marketing, support and customer success) are overwhelmed and hard to align
The problem is all this noise keeps Product Managers from collaborating efficiently and effectively with their stakeholders — especially from collaborating with customers to create a breakthrough product. A good product manager keeps things organized in spreadsheets and has amazing communication disciplines that hold it all together. But those practices and tools don’t scale and it gets harder every day to find the signal in the noise.

Recruiting is a process that we take very seriously at our company. We strive to hire the best engineers, the best product managers, and the best designers, and guess what; almost every other company out there does too.

In the post, The Guerrilla Guide to Interviewing, he talks about how to interview and hire new engineers to your development teams and what you should look for while you hire. I believe that this is a must-read for every recruiter. In his post, he mentions only two things that he looks for in an interviewee:

How a clothing company is aiming to fix our broken food chain
By Yvon Chouinard, Founder of Patagonia
The tradition and culture of food have always been important to us at Patagonia. On our many travels, the meals—cedar-planked salmon with First Nations friends in BC, tsampa in yak-hair tents in Tibet, asado and chimichurri with Patagonian gauchos—become a vital part of the experience. What we eat does more than just fill our stomachs and nourish our bodies; good food lifts our spirits and helps us understand the world a little better.

If you want to be as healthy as possible, there are no treadmills or weight machines required.
Don’t just take my word for it — look to the longest-lived people in the world for proof.
People in the world’s Blue Zones— the places around the world with the highest life expectancy — don’t pump iron, run marathons or join gyms.
Instead, they live in environments that constantly nudge them into moving without even thinking about it. This means that they grow gardens, walk throughout the day, and minimize mechanical conveniences for house and yard work.

Fjällräven Classic USA, 2018
This year, for the third year in a row, I participated in the Fjällräven Classic USA here in Colorado. Read about the 2016 USA Fjällräven Classic and the 2017 USA Fjällräven Classic.
As with previous years, this was a 3 day, 2 night backpacking trip in the Colorado backcountry, hosted by Fjällräven and their sister brands. This year felt like they are really hitting their groove with organization, distance, and difficulty, and I think it was overall the “best” one yet.
