    The Hidden Danger of Shipping Fast

    TLDR: Once your product velocity exceeds your users' capacity to adopt, you are not shipping value -- you are shipping waste. PostHog applies Theory of Constraints to software adoption and offers a practical framework for being loud on purpose and quietly excellent everywhere else.

    The Hidden Cost of AI Prototypes That Are Made to Die

    TLDR: AI tools have made generating prototypes trivially easy, but most of those prototypes are disposable by design. The real cost shows up later -- in translation work, rework, and lost continuity across the product lifecycle.

    The Three Juggling Acts: Strategic, Lazy, and Survival

    TLDR: A deceptively simple framework that distinguishes between strategic juggling (intentional optionality), lazy juggling (undisciplined drift), and survival juggling (forced triage). The hard part is being honest about which one you are actually doing.

    TLDR: AI is commoditizing the data collection layer of UX research. The researchers who thrive will be the ones who turn signal into decisions, not the ones who gather signal faster.

    TLDR: Products do not lose users because they are hard to use. They lose them because nothing meaningful happens early enough to sustain belief. The first minute is about confidence, not comprehension.

    Innovation Is Not Magic; It Is Technique

    TLDR: Behind every breakthrough product is a foundation of talent, communication, defined roles, and clear business vision. Without that base, innovation is just a lottery ticket with bad odds.

    The State of Buttons

    TLDR: A concise exploration of how buttons communicate both their current state and their available action, and how Material Design's expressive buttons solve this elegantly through shape, color, and container changes.
