"Speed and convenience hurt actually hurt retention argues repeat consumer app founder @besartcopa. They create a thin connection between your product and the user. This Duolingo loading screen is a perfect example. Turns out long onboarding flows and loading screens can actually INCREASE retention. Cinematic animated onboarding experiences teach users to appreciate the craft of your app. Be a symphony that steadily unfolds not a ringtone that rushes to the chorus. Instead of minimizing "time to delight" you take time to make users feel seen by collecting their preferences and teaching them"

"Great to hear Groq leadership did right by their employees and most will see proper compensation including some vesting acceleration. But this should still be built into hiring contracts and not just be at the mercy of the founders. Attention startup employees: Demand that in the event of a Groq-like hacquisition you get accelerated vesting and pro rata compensation like in a real acquisition. Dont get Windsurfd.

"@_ricburton @dhasandev worse off tax-wise but I do see the argument that a true acquisition with better taxing could have been delayed or prevented by slow unclear anti-trust That said I actually do think anti-trust is important. Figmas outcome and competition was improved by Adobe being blocked"

"@_ricburton @dhasandev What was terrible or destroying about Figma going public instead of getting acquired by the Adoborg Other than that the decision should have been made much faster"
