Matt Brown: Dark software. TLDR: The last decade’s playbook for building startups is breaking down, particularly in SaaS and fintech. Founders need a new playbook to create winning startups. But what will the playbook (and the winners) look like? “Dark kitchens” (ghost kitchen) in food delivery might offer a hint: they’re able to win in highly commoditized, low-friction markets with hyper-specialization, a full-stack product offering, and everything outsourced except the brand and integration.

heodor W. Adorno (/əˈdɔːrnoʊ/ ə-DOR-noh,[8] German: [ˈteːodoːɐ̯ ʔaˈdɔʁno] ⓘ;[9][10] born Theodor Ludwig Wiesengrund; 11 September 1903 – 6 August 1969) was a German philosopher, musicologist, and social theorist. He was a leading member of the Frankfurt School of critical theory, whose work has come to be associated with thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, Erich Fromm, and Herbert Marcuse, for whom the works of Freud, Marx, and Hegel were essential to a critique of modern society. As a critic of both fascism and what he called the culture industry, his writings—such as Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), Minima Moralia (1951), and Negative Dialectics (1966)—strongly influenced the European New Left. Amidst the vogue enjoyed by existentialism and positivism in early 20th-century Europe, Adorno advanced a dialectical conception of natural history that critiqued the twin temptations of ontology and empiricism through studies of Kierkegaard and Husserl. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_W._Adorno

Jonathan David Haidt (/haɪt/; born October 19, 1963) is an American social psychologist and author. He is the Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership at the New York University Stern School of Business.[1] His main areas of study are the psychology of morality and moral emotions. Haidt's main scientific contributions come from the psychological field of moral foundations theory,[2] which attempts to explain the evolutionary origins of human moral reasoning on the basis of innate, gut feelings rather than logic and reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Haidt

Elizabeth Ayer: Enshittification as Overproduction in Software. I have a few things to say about this moment of mass enshittification: most of what we’re seeing is incompetence, not malice. (Any sufficiently advanced ClueLessness is indistinguishable from Malice. But I think this article may be stretching the definition/context of enshittification.) (more)

A cash cow is product or service that generates significant revenue over a long period of time for the company that sells it. Revenue “milked” from cash cows is often used to subsidise less profitable parts (portfolio) of a business. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_cow (more)

The growth–share matrix[2] (aka the product portfolio matrix,[3] Boston Box, BCG-matrix, Boston matrix, Boston Consulting Group analysis, portfolio diagram) is a (2x2) chart created in a collaborative effort by BCG employees: Alan Zakon first sketched it and then, together with his colleagues, refined it.[4] BCG's founder Bruce D. Henderson popularized the concept in an essay titled "The Product Portfolio" in BCG's publication Perspectives in 1970.[5] The purpose of this matrix is to help corporations to analyze their business units, that is, their product lines. This helps the company allocate resources and is used as an analytical tool in brand marketing, product management, strategic management, and portfolio analysis... To use the chart, analysts plot a scatter graph to rank the business units (or products) on the basis of their relative market shares and growth rates.
