ā¶ All Iām looking for is the price of coffee
This newsletter is generally a great read, but this post felt like something youād all enjoy. It loops around the idea that we are all judging places, and therefore ourselves by how much it costs to buy a cup of coffee, expanding out to what gentrification does to the concept of āvalueā. Itās good.
ā· A landscape of paranoia
Do you own a Ring (or other) security camera? The rise in at-home surveillance is about to enter new ground, with the idea expanded to vehicles.

āø Insights from Dropbox through hypergrowth
This is a useful article if youāre either interested to know what hypergrowth is, or are experiencing it yourself at work. Itās a bizarre rollercoaster of a ride, and the word āhyperā certainly sums it up well. This piece was written by someone who worked at Dropbox throughout their hyper stage, and spells out their top lessons for this interested in what it meant there.
