Tony Ennis's Blog Posts about Grand Design

Need to read more about Allen, but from this piece I feel like he's my product idol.
"Sex is a driving force for human nature"
"Product management is art, not commerce" - agree.
"I’ve been able to imbue my perspective of the world"
"Grand design" vs design thinking. Grand design - "the new product emerges fully-formed in the mind’s eye before it is commercialized".
"A good product requires a certain degree of ‘dictatorship"
"The primary goal for technology should be helping humankind increase efficiency."
"There is a limit to how much a single app or tool can hold. To avoid an over-bloated app, he recently announced that WeChat is expanding to revolve around different standalone apps." <- very interesting considering WeChat is the canonical super app.
"Quality, not openness, is the greatest good that a platform can deliver" <- hard disagree with his point here. I dislike the "quality" as determined by an algorithm approach - would prefer to see everything and do curation myself.
