Drew Taylor shared thisCongrats John on launching this exciting startup! I wish I was going to be at SXSW to see it in action!!! I def have a computer or two that are idle most of the time... I'm gonna have to get them hooked up to Evolving Edge!Drew Taylor shared thisEvolving Edge is opening early access to the Edge Computing Cloud at #SXSW. If you’ve ever run a home server or just let your Mac Mini idle on your desk, you already have what it takes. Just install an app and your unused bandwidth and compute will help deliver content, compute, and AI inference 2x faster than typical cloud computing. You get paid each month for the tasks completed on your hardware. This is the gig economy for devices. It's Uber for compute. Completely secure and private (node software is open source) with nothing to do except install an app and making sure your computer is powered on and connected to the internet. Join before March 31st and receive: - 2x cash payouts on your node earnings for the first year - Free CDN credits for life* on any site or app you own What's the catch? There is none. Get paid to make the internet faster and AI agents more accessible using the hardware you already own. Join the waitlist here: https://lnkd.in/dGjKQsDw

Drew Taylor posted thisYou may have noticed my green 'Open to Work' banner came down a few days ago. I'm excited to say I've accepted a position with a great team doing wonderful things! Once I get started up (next week) I'll make an official announcement with more deets. :-) Thanks to everyone that helped during my job-hunt process over the last few months!

Drew Taylor shared thisThis is hilarious... Personally, I don't have these kinds of questions come up, but that may be because I'm applying for more senior roles.Drew Taylor shared thisIf candidates interviewed companies the way bad companies interview candidates: - I see there's a 2 year gap in your product launch schedule, can you explain that gap? - It looks like you discontinued a product after only 8 months, you couldn't even stick it out for a full year? - Are you planning any mergers or acquisitions that could distract from the core business function in the next 5 years? - Can you put together a presentation for me so I can get a better understanding of what the day to day will look like? Of course don't do it during work hours, but in your free time. - Why should I take a risk on you over a more established business? - I have a wide band of salary expectations, that are dependent on company offer, title, and career path. I can explain it further into the interview process, if we get to that point.

Drew Taylor liked thisDrew Taylor liked thisi picked our kid up from school, and asked the teacher if they’re using AI in the classroom the teacher said yes, of course, they have the latest Gemini models and use it daily to teach kids young how to responsibly use AI i was horrified, i immediately went to the principal’s office and withdrew my kid from the program i explained that we are raising our kids on strictly Anthropic and OpenAI models, and we can’t tolerate this type of risky behavior with their future smh

Drew Taylor liked thisThat image breaks my heart. Such a wasted opportunity! Been a Revivn fan for years, they should be a mandatory vendor for all tech companies.Drew Taylor liked thisQuick question for any IT leader managing a laptop fleet: When you retire a MacBook or PC, what happens to it? If the answer is “it goes into storage” or “we hand it to a vendor” that device almost certainly still works. It still runs. Someone could still use it. Most retired enterprise laptops aren’t broken. They’re just done with one chapter. An M1 that’s too slow for your engineering team is still fast enough for a student, a nonprofit, a small business, or an employee in a different part of the world. The problem is that most corporate hardware disposal processes treat a functioning device the same way they treat actual trash. It gets warehoused. It gets shipped somewhere you can’t track. It ends up in a storage unit that doesn't need it. We built Revivn around a different idea: every device has a next chapter. Our job is to find it, whether that’s a certified refurb back into circulation, a donation to a program that needs it, or responsible recycling when there’s genuinely nothing left. The fact that this also returns real value to your organization is a byproduct of doing it right. Not the reason to do it. If you’re sitting on retired hardware with no plan, what’s stopping you from making one? #HardwareLifecycle #CircularEconomy

Drew Taylor liked thisI'm super excited to be launching this with Bryce, Phil, and the Upstory team. Hit me up if you're interested.Drew Taylor liked thisWe're officially launching B43. Everyone I talk to feels behind, doesn't know where to start, and is emotionally exhausted when it comes to AI. Our B43 team has worked hard to understand the root cause of the gaps, and we've developed a program to help organizations/teams address the core gaps. "We've spent our 10,000 hours so you don't have to" :) We're here to walk with you step-by-step to make sure you get up to speed, and are able to adapt with every new thing that comes out (without us). Despite, what you're seeing all over socials, it doesn't have to be that complicated. We're looking to pick up a few more companies for May and June, so reach out if you think this could be you.

Drew Taylor liked thisDrew Taylor liked this50% of product managers won't have a job in 2 years. And if you're not already doing these THREE THINGS, you're one of them. ... how did reading that make you feel? I see stuff like this all day, and I think it's materially affecting my mental health. But it's also helping some people make real money off of the fear and insecurity of others. I call it FOMOnetization. And it's fast becoming one the dominant business model of our time. AI is just the subject matter, and at times, the enablement technology.

Drew Taylor liked thisDrew Taylor liked thisClaude Design just KILLED Figma. Remember when you could make unlimited designs exactly how you want for $20 a month? What if I told you... you could now just describe the design... and Claude would do an okay job... and as you're asking it to move stuff up and down by 5px... you run out of tokens. And the best part? It only costs you $400 a month per person 🤯 There's also another really cool feature where you can upload your design system and brand guide (it won't follow any of those rules, but it's cool that you get to upload them nonetheless.) Truly, we are going to witness thousands of designers leaving Figma en masse. ...any day now.

Drew Taylor liked thisDrew Taylor liked thisCold investor outreach used to eat half my day. I fixed that with an AI agent. Seven steps. That's what it took to send a single cold email to an investor. Research the firm. Enrich the data. Write the email. Personalize the intro. Generate a deck link. Send. Log it in the CRM. Repeat. It's tedious AF - and that's after you've already spent hours deciding whether the investor is even worth contacting. I'd tried to streamline it before. Still ended up copy-pasting my way through it. So, I gave an AI agent (Hermes, open-source and self-hosted) direct access to my CRM, my email, and a scrappy deck-tracking tool I vibe coded myself. Then I told it what to do in plain language. Now the workflow looks like this: → Agent picks the next investor from Folk based on a prioritization rule I defined → Researches them and drafts a personalized first line → Presents it to me for approval before touching anything → Generates a unique tracking link for the deck → Sends the email via Brevo → Logs the interaction in Folk automatically Setup: 3 hours. Time saved on day one alone: 3 hours. Incremental token cost: $0 (thanks to my $7/week Kimi 2.5 Turbo subscription). There was one hiccup: it batched 8 emails without showing them to me first. A few came out wooden. Lesson learned, rule added: one message at a time, every time. Otherwise, it felt like magic. The full breakdown - tools, workflow, exact instructions I used, and what I'd do differently - is in the comments. 👇

Your product team didn’t mean to create friction. But over time, it happens. Assumptions become decisions. Workflows drift from real behavior. What feels obvious internally becomes harder for users to navigate. Friction builds quietly until it shows up in abandonment, support tickets, and missed opportunities. Usability testing helps you catch it earlier. A few sessions with real users can reveal where people get stuck, what’s causing confusion, and which small fixes can make a measurable difference. Read how a focused usability review helps uncover the friction teams stop seeing. 👉 https://zurl.co/ynuGj

Every roadmap decision is a wager: growth, retention, revenue, learning, or infrastructure. The difference?👇 Leaders know how to size the opportunity, set the metrics, and know when to double down (or kill it). 📌Save this framework for your next strategy session! #ProductManagement #ProductLeadership #ProductStrategy

If your product team isn’t listening to real users, watching how they work, or hearing where they struggle, then you’re guessing, not solving. And guesswork? That’s how features flop, UX breaks, and users leave. > Talk less about roadmaps. > Spend more time in real contexts. That’s where good product calls come from. #ProductDevelopment #B2BProducts #VoiceOfCustomer #UXMatters

🎯 “MVP vs MLP: Build Less, But Build Better” You’ve heard of MVP (Minimum Viable Product)… But have you heard of MLP — Minimum Lovable Product? 🔍 What’s the Difference? MVP = A basic version that works MLP = A basic version that users love 💡 Why MLP > MVP in 2025 In a world full of half-baked launches and “meh” user experiences, MLP focuses on emotional connection — not just functionality. ✅ It solves ONE problem ✅ It delights in ONE unique way ✅ It gets users saying: “I need this in my life!” 🚀 Examples: 📝 Notion → MVP: Collaborative notes | MLP: Beautiful, customizable workspace 🎵 Spotify → MVP: Play music | MLP: Smart playlists + social experience 🛒 Glovo in Cameroon → MVP: Deliver food | MLP: Localized delivery, great UX, instant support 🔧 Building Your MLP? Ask: 1. What’s the core pain point? 2. How can we make the solution feel magical or delightful? 3. What is the one thing users will rave about? “Users don’t fall in love with products that just work — they love products that understand them.” Build the simplest version of your product… …but make it unforgettable. ❤️ #MVPvsMLP #ProductDesign #UserExperience #StartupTips #LeanStartup #TechTrends #SoftwareProduct #ProductManagement #BuildWithLove #TechInnovation #CustomerFirst #cameroun

Dear Claude/OpenAi/Gemini Product Designers: please give us the option to choose Enter = send or Enter = newline and Cmd/Ctrl + Enter = send Why is this not a toggle under Personalization? Nothing breaks flow like accidentally launching a half-baked prompt because muscle memory hit “Enter.” PS: I’ve been using this Chrome extension successfully: “Enter Key Control for ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude.” [LINK in COMMENTS] There are also more technical workarounds: • Userscripts (Tampermonkey) — override default Enter behavior • Browser extensions — cleanest fix • CLI users — Shift+Enter or Ctrl+J for new linesDear Product Designers...
