Hello,
I hope all readers of this newsletter are well. This, being our 10th edition, marks a tiny milestone that we've achieved together as a community. So here’s us- looking back, and looking ahead.
Week in Review: Highlights of our community
Pranay, in #general has just launched his product SigNoz, which is an open-source alternative to DataDog for companies that are security and privacy-conscious, and are concerned about huge bills they need to pay to SaaS application monitoring vendors.
Rishi has shared an interesting resource in #random: a website which book recommendations from the world’s top investors and entrepreneurs. It’s a pretty cool resource if you’re looking to pick up a good book for this weekend.
The next pandemic- what is it going to look like, how will we survive, and most importantly- are we heeding to the warning signs? Check out that and more, in this video:
Quincy Larson from FreeCodeCamp shares his infamous email 5 things worth your time, and they’re known to be legendary. Somebody on Twitter has compiled all of his emails into a GitHub repository, which I highly recommend to check out if you’re into product, coding or designing.
Looking back, and looking ahead
Here’s a recap on some of our past editions:
Our most-loved editions:
#001: Progress is flawed, psychedelics are great: Our very first edition in which we’d explored how the concept of progress itself is flawed, and why psychedelics could play a major role in untangling our minds- and why we should start talking about it more.
#005: The hard thing about hard conversations with your boss: Given that it’s appraisal season time, the mental models presented in this edition could come handy! We discussed how workplace confrontations with your boss or your peers could actually be more productive, and exactly how you can go about establishing that.
#002: Divorce Lady Luck; bet on yourself instead: This was an interesting edition that we’d published around New Years, and presented mental models on why life is more like a game of poker than chess. Additionally, Paras also shared his two cents on how to be grateful!
