What’s been happening?


  • Is the Macbook Pro 2013 the best computer ever made?
    • Jon's review of the new Macbook Pro: the screen, the keyboard, the thinness are great. He doesn't like the touchbar, and it crashed a lot initially.


  • Thanks to Bill for the Spotify introduction!

  • We tried out Amazon Transcribe and it was hilarious

Main topic: Partner communication, making decisions

We got a question on Twitter from Dennis Martinez:


“How often do you both keep in touch with each other talking about the product in an average day/week? How important is daily communication?”


Jon and Justin have different decision making styles:


  • Justin is "quick start." He likes to make decisions quickly, and have a fast momentum.

  • Jon is more thoughtful and detail-oriented.


Having this balance is important!

How we communicate:


  • Daily communication: Slack

  • Weekly call: Skype

  • How we make decisions: consensus.

Takeaways


  • This is the benefit of doing a small project before you launch something bigger.
    • Example: where are we going for lunch? (XOXO), what source control are we going to use? (small project we did before Transistor)


  • Partner with someone who is trustworthy, autonomous.

  • Make sure there's enough overlap in your timezone.

  • Ensure your co-founder has enough time to dedicate to the project.
