We need to talk

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.
