How I work, in four sentences.

Ship then Iterate
Focus on speed to market and then gather feedback to iterate on quality
Measure what Matters
Gather product metrics that affect customer usage and then think about moving the needle.
Build for Humans
Build things that are actually required by human beings after thorough research.
Taste
Relentlessly pursue good taste to decide on what and how to build.
