It is not about crypto.com going kaput.
I think it’s refreshing to see that Fed & Phil had in mind a clear path to value with their existing hardware+software strategy, rather than rushing to the growth and market share at-all-costs strategy popular at the time.
It’s so easy to point to Federighi’s email and scream “monopolist”! But Apple was in no way close to commanding a monopoly in the mobile market back then.
1. Pace yourself. You’re going to want to try to do as much as you can with your newborn/infant but sometimes they’re just not ready for it. If you try to be very extra with your child on day one, you’re going to burn yourself out. A corollary is to appreciate the free time you get.
2. Children all develop in their own way so don’t freak out if your experience something different than what you read online.
3. Fear about SIDS is so incredibly overblown. I think the latest that we know about SIDS is that it’s a genetic thing. You should keep your baby’s area relatively clutter free to minimize suffocation risk but you don’t have to spend every waking hour of your life worrying about if they are breathing.
4. If you plan to formula feed, get a baby brezza. It saves so much time. Don’t believe the negative reviews, my baby is thriving.
5. You can’t spoil a child when they’re an infant. Don’t be afraid to give them all the love they need, especially when they’re crying. You’re not doing anybody favors by letting them cry things out.
6. Be empathetic to your partner as you are now sharing a foxhole with them.

I was much younger in my career then, after after learning that, I immediately had zero tolerance for bad management. It was clear that the only way out was to either jump ship or get your existing manager out of your hair. That’s when it’s crucial to manage upwards. With even bad managers, if you can figure out their motivations, then you can figure out a way for them to leave you alone.
There are so many moves that were obvious in video games but (bafflingly, to a kid like me) were never adopted until much, much later like:
• NFL - Going for it on 4th down
• NFL - QB spamming scramble moves (w/ Michael Vick)
• NBA - Spamming 3 pointers (w/ Steph Curry)
I’ve seen teams spend days consumed by their overreaction, make unnecessary changes to product, and then shrug a week or month later when everyone collectively agrees when that change should be undone. Bizarre.
Odd complaint seeing as how Apple no longer includes chargers with iPhones, on environmental grounds. There are many people who complained about that, as well.
It’s always easy to carve these lines in the sand ex post facto. Good legislation lays out a set on consistent principles and enforcements, ex ante.
There were over $10b in redemptions over a couple days in may.
“They’re definitely insolvent”.
Source on the “definitely”?
“but that only causes immediate failure when enough people try to withdraw at once”
You mean illiquid, not insolvent.
Whether it’s throttling, repairability, or the App Store, many of Apple’s decisions make a lot more sense when you observe them as products of tradeoffs. One may not like which side of the tradeoff spectrum that Apple chose, that’s fine, but it’s preposterous to pretend like we live in a world in which they do not exist.
