Is building a product like hiring an employee? http://buff.ly/PcuwzV

Just found the best product on the internet http://instagr.am/p/POJB4ehKZ4/

@emmetgibney I agree. Being able to scale, without being severely restricted by location, buildings, or people.

@michaelbridge is this a part of an ongoing real-time developer scavenger hunt that I'm not aware of? ;)

@Evanish ha ha. I appreciate your insight. Question: are there any "product focused" conferences you've been to and can recommend?

@kylefox me too. Is there a sexy name for that other than "a profitable normal business"?

@kylefox what did you think? Here's my thought: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/249610559866163200

@stoneinthesling you might find the full blog post interesting as well: http://justinjackson.ca/i-quit-my-desk/

@Evanish interesting. More and more I've been thinking of making products "with a job to do". Ref: http://www.quora.com/What-is-jobs-to-be-done-approach-to-innovation

After reading @paulg's definition of a #startup, I've realized I don't want to start one: http://paulgraham.com/growth.html

@rjs are you thinking about how we evaluate what would be a good "hire" before the hire is made? Or how we evaluate a hire after its made?

@rjs do you have some recommended reading that might help me answer that question? ;)

@Evanish just added a few more thoughts. Still not working for you? What about it "sticks"?

@mbutson looking for feedback on this post idea. Do you think this is true? http://justinjackson.ca/hiring-a-feature-is-like-hiring-an-employee/

@robwalling looking for feedback on this post idea. Do you think this is true? http://justinjackson.ca/hiring-a-feature-is-like-hiring-an-employee/

Just so you're clear: Kickstarter is not a store. http://buff.ly/P48zDb

@brucehearder thanks for the RT! Did you read the blog post that goes with it? http://justinjackson.ca/i-quit-my-desk/

@bikemech_ca sounds like they're making money!

@therusstler ha ha ha.

@therusstler thanks for sharing my post! Glad you enjoyed it.

Decided to ride my bike down to the beach on my lunch hour. It +29 and nobody's here! http://instagr.am/p/P2YuA3DoSK/

@brennandunn @edavis10 I'm sure @robwalling would be pleased to see that. ;)

@IvanSF ha ha ha.

@DevinKomarniski love this.

@GuillaumeOrain thanks for sharing my post!

@alyssaaldersley again; thanks for sharing! ;)

@LeoWid thanks for sharing my post. As a Product Manager, I'm a huge fan of @bufferapp. Brilliant execution!

@StandingDeskPro hey, thanks for sharing. There's a standing desk in this one too... http://justinjackson.ca/i-quit-my-desk/ ;)

@bikemech_ca @stafford_greer ha ha. The funny thing is: Paul convinced me to get a Samsung!! ... just kidding.

@alyssaaldersley hey, thanks for sharing my post! Which one would you rather work at?

@dorinmoise ha ha. No problem. Are you in an office job right now?

@spastk yes; that could work. Every time I've tried to divide them my work stuff ends up on the "play" computer.

@philfrasty that's a good looking desk! How do you like it so far?

@spastk I think the context is important. Using a laptop for work & play is fine for me. It's keeping the desk sacred that's important. ;)

@yenchoi thanks for sharing my post!

@abetan16 I heard a story about a developer that had his employer put a shower in his office for that very reason!

@mbutson I've felt that same tension. But sometimes, if I'm working on implementing something (with little thinking) AC/DC just works. ;)

@evangoldin @afishwick Alex, I'm glad you like it! The photo is a "bit" of a lie, in that normally, my laptop is raised on a box. ;)

@jakeneeley I used it pretty consistently for about 6-8 months. I'm not using it now (I found that that was a good period of time to track)

@vijayjeya Here's how I built mine: http://justinjackson.ca/building-a-standing-desk/

@vijayjeya I built mine with Ikea parts, but I've heard of people starting by taking a regular desk, and putting a coffee table on-top. ;)

@Algumwood thanks. ;)

@roxannima thanks for sharing my post! Let me know if any of those points work for you.

@bryanarchy Ha ha. I know, it's crazy. They contacted me on Sunday night asking if they could re-post.

@mbutson I'm for it, especially if I'm getting sleepy. But there are certain tasks where I need to turn it off. How about you?

@MoreWillie ha ha. I know. It's been a fun ride. They contacted me after it went #1 on HN.

@joel_stainer ha ha. Thanks man. They contacted me after it went #1 on Hacker News. It's been a pretty fun ride.

@thisiswilson ha ha. It's pretty neat. This all came about because of being #1 on Hacker News on Sunday.

@Evanish yes. We should! Thanks.

@Evanish who developed it? The CEO, the team, or you? ;)

@Evanish what's your "Vision" at Kissmetrics?

@Evanish how do you galvanize where you're headed? Is it "Company Mission?"

@Evanish ha ha. Man, it's a lot of pressure! I've got to quit all of this communicating so I can become a better Product Manager. ;)

@paper_leaf Ha ha. Thanks. We should hang out next time I'm in #YEG. @kylefox had lots of good things to say about you.

@staydecent hey man, thanks for the follow! Checked out your blog, sounds like you're into some cool stuff! I like the idea of remote teams.
