CategoryPirates: The Secret to Success In 2026 Is Hiding in Plain Sight (LinkedIn, Lenny & Noam Just Proved It). Two completely different (profound) datasets just landed. And most people missed it. (more)
Kyle Poyar: The GTM channels I’m betting on in 2026. Ramp’s automated outbound team, one of the earliest AI SDR programs, used to be a closely-kept secret. It got started in 2021 and at its height accounted for 30% of Ramp’s pipeline, which is a phenomenal success considering how quickly Ramp soared to more than a billion in revenue. And Ramp just shut it down. Returns plateaued as competitors caught up. (more)
Chase Jarvis: Here's (Literally) How I Get Shit Done. ...breaking down the 100’s of to-dos on the list into like items and then placing those like items into 90 minute work chunks. And whether those chunks are solid blocks dedicated to solving big problems … working on big goals, OR small tactical shit like phone calls and meetings, I can orient my day toward successful chunking of the stuff I want to get done (more)

Clark Chin: This, I think, was my best work in 2025. The Bottleneck Detective Manifesto. It’s short. It’s sweet. It is - if I’m honest - incomplete. (more)
A case study is an in-depth, detailed examination of a particular case (or cases) within a real-world context.[1][2] For example, case studies in medicine may focus on an individual patient or ailment; case studies in business might cover a particular firm's strategy or a broader market; similarly, case studies in politics can range from a narrow happening over time (e.g., a specific political campaign) to an enormous undertaking (e.g., a world war). Generally, a case study can highlight nearly any individual, group, organization, event, belief system, or action. A case study does not necessarily have to be one observation (N=1), but may include many observations (one or multiple individuals and entities across multiple time periods, all within the same case study).[3][4][5][6] Research projects involving numerous cases are frequently called cross-case research, whereas a study of a single case is called within-case research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_study (more)
Abductive reasoning (also called abduction,[1] abductive inference,[1] or retroduction[2]) is a form of logical inference that seeks the simplest and most likely conclusion from a set of observations. It was formulated and advanced by American philosopher and logician Charles S Peirce beginning in the latter half of the 19th century. Abductive reasoning, unlike deductive reasoning, yields a plausible conclusion but does not definitively verify it. Abductive conclusions do not eliminate uncertainty or doubt, which is expressed in terms such as "best available" or "most likely". While inductive reasoning draws general conclusions that apply to many situations, abductive conclusions are confined to the particular observations in question (context)... Properly used, abductive reasoning can be a useful source of priors in Bayesian statistics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductive_reasoning

Michael Sippey: Stash App - an app to stash your notes. No folders, no navigation. Just your timestamped notes, newest on top, oldest on the bottom. Fast search, #hashtags, @mentions. Stash App is sort of like your own private social media app...but without any of the social, or any of the media. Native for macOS and iOS, syncs via iCloud. (more)

Elena Verna: You don't need to build a personal brand. Trying to build your personal brand early in your career is pointless. Instead, focus on doing the best work of your life, and your brand will follow. (more)
Henrik Karlsson: What problem should you be working on now? At 25, when Johanna and I bought a house and had to pick an internet provider, we decided to go with the smallest data plan, 5 GB a month. I can recommend it. (more)
Elena Verna: Growth Is Now a Trust Problem. All of us are fighting a war on three fronts (thanks to AI). Customer product expectations are higher than ever. Distribution channels are collapsing. And everyone - big incumbents, new startups, even your own customers with vibecoding - are coming for your value prop. How are you supposed to grow in this new landscape? (more)
Jonas Wallenius: Most product management work is translation. Domain → specs → tickets → meetings → misunderstandings. I find myself increasingly building throwaway prototypes to show what I mean instead. Perfect Perfect match for LLM capabilities. And they're only getting better... (more)
