Yeah, I really believe that product is more art than science, but has to be managed through data. What I mean by that is you need to make a lot of room, and I think organizations, especially the larger they get, truly struggle with this. You need to make a lot of room for people saying,

filters and snap are going to have this kind of you know psychological effect on our user base and therefore lead to this thing and I can't prove that because the only way to know it is if after we ship it and actually it's going to take three or four months for the attitudinal change to filter through whatever you need to make a ton of room for that but you also need to measure whether or not you're right which is the only way that you can inform and correct your intuition and hone your intuition over time

Because like all art really, it's maybe not objective or you would argue that it's not objective, but I think it is. I think that people look at a painting and say, oh, this is either beautiful or not. And 99% of people agree. I think you look at a product and people either use it or they don't. To what extent is that just human mimeticism?

I think some things are naturally pleasing and some things are not. Atonality, sounds, ratios and certain colors and certain designs look beautiful to the eye and some don't. I think that that's somehow natural or innate.

Well, it just means that beauty is something else. I don't think it really changes it. To bring it back to the art science question really quickly, I think that what it means is, you know, when you're building something, the only real measure of value, Mickey, Ribbit Capital invested in our seed round at Sling.

And Mickey, the founder of Ribbit, is amazing, you know, and I cherish every moment that I have with him. And he said to me at some point, distribution really matters because you can't have a great, you know, there are lots of great products that die without great distribution. And I think that's true. I think he's a hundred percent correct.

But to me, in order to have a great product, you need people, people have to use it and get value from it. It is value less without that. You may as well not have built it. And that is the objective measure that brings science to the art of product. Like if you build something and you give it to a bunch of people and they don't use it and they don't
