Hello my friends,

To all the mothers, Happy Mother’s Day.

Last week’s opening note seemed to really resonate. Thanks to those of you who dropped me a message saying that it provided some peace of mind.

This week my message is short and sweet:

Put away the devices and go spend some time with family today. The internet (and this newsletter) will be there tomorrow.

— Andy

Product

  • Whatever you thought of Elon hosting SNL last night his contribution to the world doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

  • Gravity Industries is fulfilling every kid’s dream. Founder Richard Browning shares his inspiration here.

  • Subscription services are everywhere but not necessarily appropriate for everything. SaaS = Safety as a Service?

People

  • Managing talent in the ‘Networked Age/YOLO Economy’ should be your top priority. Reid Hoffmann’s (co-founder of LinkedIn) book “The Alliance” is a great guide — if you don't have the time for the whole book, read the opening few paragraphs, I’m sure it will resonate.

  • Work From Home has opened the possibility to design your lifestyle around work. Will the 40h work week survive?

  • A fantastic framework to follow for any role within your company, this memo from Ben Horowitz outlines the definition of a good product manager.

Methods

  • A reminder that productivity hacks are only for work-related tasks. Make time to slow down and smell the roses.

  • Don’t read all the books, read the best 100 over and over again. A note on reading for understanding, not vanity.

  • A great thread on the obviousness of innovation. “The Kardashian Problem” as described in the first comment.


Out of Office

I appreciate the utility of easy to consume, zero fluff landing pages.
