Old vs. New

Some notes on the mutually exclusive differences between old and new ways of working.

Old IT teams passively wait to be told what to work on. New product teams proactively pick problems to solve.

Old product managers act as a conduit between stakeholders and developers. New product managers facilitate collaboration.

Managing domain redirects over time

Wouldn’t it be great if owning a domain during a certain period of time gave you control over redirects from links created during that time.

Then, even if you stopped owning the domain, you can choose to either redirect links somewhere else or hand them over to the new owner.

Neat things and messy things

Neat things are definable and describable, they have clear edges. Messy things are unclear and amorphous. Neat things and messy things don’t fit together.
