“There’s A Disturbance In The Force”

Haystack

I say “no” every day, multiple times a day. Even though I know I’m upsetting folks, I try to be direct, open, quick, and honest. Not everyone will like it. So be it.

Nope. Sit Down And Do The Work.

Austin Startup

“We need (random marketing or UX project) done. Why don’t we copy how (tech company z) did it?” It’s a common way to come up with a solution to a problem you’ve never solved before.
