I worked for a facebook ads agency a long time ago and I had to send facebook my id to be able to run ads on the platform and manage different accounts... I really hate that the internet is going this way, but also, what am I gonna do? not do my job cuz I don't want to share my id? not use Claude cuz I don't want to share my id? they're pretty valuable things, so I'm gonna give them my id if I need to. its just a crappy situation. Just gonna assume nothing is gonna come from it and keep going.

I've noticed more girls are being named Parker these days. My 1yo son is named Parker. He's holding the line.

in product I'm always thinking about reducing friction, but this is helpful to encourage me to think about it more as a tool. Product: reduce friction to get more people to use a feature. Sales: add friction to get more qualified leads.

Usually when I'm in a crappy situation, I try to pretend my best friend is in that situation, and I'll give him advice. Often helps me come up with good ideas and kinda strips away all the bs and excuses I'm telling myself. That being said, the more deeply held the excuses and bs are, the harder it is to actually do this.
