The Paradox Of Purpose
- The Sanskrit verse from the Bhagavad Gita pierces through human conditioning. “Karma Yoga”, Vairagya, Agape, Tawakkul, Seva, or Lishma - every ancient wisdom embodies this truth.
- We cling to outcomes in this unyielding cycle, where is the space for the sanctity of effort?
- Detachment in life is not merely a change in behavior; it is a profound shift in perception.
- The ego craves results. But when we decouple our actions from their outcomes, we reclaim a deeper power.
- What if true success lies not in what we secure but in how wholly we commit to the journey itself?
- In a world obsessed with outcomes, living without attachment is an act of radical defiance.
- Can we risk obscurity, misunderstanding, and silence just to touch a freedom that renders the applause of a result-obsessed world insignificant?
- Or will we remain bound, clinging to the very rewards that keep us captive?
- Detachment, then, is not withdrawal but a way to love with purity, to offer and accept with sincerity, free from the bondage of expectation.
- This teaching invites us to stop and listen. Pursue a path that feels counterintuitive to reimagine ambition.

Research reveals billionaire Elon Musk’s social media posts had a ‘sudden boost’ once he backed Donald Trump
- Elon Musk backed Donald Trump, and his social media posts has a 'sudden boost' where his posts got higher views, retweets and likes in comparison to other prominent political accounts on the platform raising suspicions that Musk may have tweaked the platform’s algorithm to increase the reach of his posts. The founder of X (formerly Twitter) has a history of algorithmically boosting his posts to reach more people. Other conservative and right-wing X accounts have performed better in terms of visibility compared to progressive and left-wing accounts since July.
- Musk promotes Trump's re-election and has donated around 100 million dollars over the past three months to a political action committee called America PAC that's promoting Trump.
- The data spans from January 1 2024 to October 25 2024. Since July, engagement with Musk's X account has seen a sudden and significant increase. The view counts for his posts increased by 138%, retweets by 238%, and likes by 186%, while other prominent political accounts on X saw more moderate increases.
- However, the platform’s increasing opacity to researchers makes this difficult to say for certain. The Conversation sought comment from X about the research, but did not receive a reply before deadline. Without backstage access to the workings of the company, it is impossible to know for sure whether changes to its curation system are boosting its owner's posts.
- The findings raise the question of the extent to which Musk's influential social media platform is reinforcing its owner’s political agenda. Given he has previously tweaked X's algorithm to amplify the reach of his posts, it would be surprising if he were not tilting the platform in favour of Trump.
- The outgoing Trump administration’s Cabinet has been one of the wealthiest cabinets in US history of which Musk's businesses have extensive government contracts.
- Musk's actions have drawn focus towards governments to reconsider their approach to regulating the oligopolistic power over our information environment wielded by a handful of tech billionaires.
- Since Musk's purchase of X, it has become more congenial to figures on the right, including people who were previously banned for spreading harmful and false information.
- The myth of neutrality is what social media platforms such as X are playing. For too long, social media platforms have enjoyed immunity for the information they selectively inject into users' feeds.
- It’s time for governments to reconsider their approach to regulating the oligopolistic power over our information environment wielded by a handful of tech billionaires.

How did a company acquisition feel like for a product designer
- Three years ago, during the hard Covid lockdown in The Netherlands, the news arrived at our company; we were going to be acquired by a competitor.
- The acquisition brought changes to the team structures which had better representation at the leadership level with individual leaders for each function.
- During the acquisition, there was acquisition bias in decision-making leading to difficulties finding joint solutions later.
- Collaborating with people outside of the immediate reach brought up critical aspects in the user experience that were missed initially.
- Employees tend to speculate about the consequences of the acquisition but that should not hinder their work.
- Presenting products flows to the team of the acquiring company was the big part of the product designer's work in the beginning.
- Merging two design teams brings up different approaches to their role in the company and the need for a strong leader with a vision.
- Designers should embrace the change and take the opportunity to influence it early on, and try to understand what the acquisition means for them.
- Having a sense of values, maturity and a backup plan helps maintain mental and professional health.
- The experience of an acquisition may have its challenges but it is an opportunity to grow professionally and contribute to building something new.

Optimizing Tech Design Meetings with Structured Ticket Templates
- Wayfair's developers found difficulty with Jira tickets that lacked specificity, leaving the team hounding each other for required information.
- To resolve this, they created a set of structured ticket templates for bug reports, design changes, feature requests, and optimization tasks that contained all the necessary information before being discussed or assigned.
- The templates improved productivity, allowing developers to complete 3x more tickets in an hour-long meeting and shortening development cycles while making them more concise.
- Through structured templates, this provides benefits such as accurate estimates, hitting the 100% completion mark on sprints consistently, and higher quality code.
- This method requires a dedicated time investment, worthwhile for the long-term benefits it brings.
- Start by assessing if documentation issues are widespread and altering templates based on the type of tickets that flow through your system.
- Once guidelines are established, share these templates with everyone who will be writing tickets after collecting feedback to make sure everyone is comfortable with the changes.
- You should enforce these changes strictly and not entertain any Jira tickets presented without specific details.
- Wayfair's success in employing structured templates improved their team's process and morale, and it's worth a consideration for you too.
