After we launch a new feature, I keep a close eye on how many people are using it. If it’s unpopular, we’ll discontinue it and try something else. Every feature has some maintenance cost, and having fewer features lets us focus on the ones we care about and make sure they work very well. For every new feature we add, we take an old one out.

Miami Horror - I Look To You (Ft Kimbra)

This song is amazing, as is the whole album. Can’t wait to see these guys at Mercury Lounge in late March.

Cold War Kids - Mine Is Yours (Passion Pit Remix)

Cold War Kids + Passion Pit = amazing.  One of the best songs I’ve heard in years.

Measuring busy-ness...

Here’s the full post from Seth because it’s short and just that good:

Measuring busy-ness is far easier than measuring business.

Busy-ness might feel good (like checking your email on Christmas weekend) but business means producing things of actual value. Often, the two are completely unrelated.

What if you spent a day totally unbusy, and instead confronted the fear-filled tasks you’ve been putting off that will actually produce value once shipped?

Check out Seth’s blog to get more pearls of wisdom like this. I make a point of reading his blog everyday because literally every post is good. No, great…every post is great.
