Keep Driving, developed and published by YCJY Games, is a management RPG with turn-based combat, and the thickest of vibes. You play as a young person, heading out onto the open road in your trusty car, traveling across the country to meet your friend at a music festival. Along the way, you encounter every facet of life: the good, the bad, and the surprising. You can pick up hitchhikers, take on odd jobs, refill at gas stations, and explore both small roadside towns and big cities. But along the way you have to face off against all manner of road events. Luckily you've also got a car stereo and your CD playlists by your side. In episode 49 of No Small Games, Kate and Emily dive into their own personal experiences of road trips, and how these align with the gameplay of Keep Driving. You'll hear their thoughts on the many mechanics of this turn-based combat system, and discuss their thoughts on the vehicle-oriented UI. But best of all, if you tune into the spoiler section, you'll find out how Kate wound up with the "go to jail" ending.

Nick Groeneveld is a designer and User Experience expert who has been a valued collaborator on Podscan, my own software product. Nick works as a freelancer for a lot of companies that have no in-house design knowledge, and he's been navigating the rapid changes that AI tools like Lovable and vZero are bringing to the design world. With 10 years of professional design experience and a deep understanding of design theory, Nick brings a unique perspective on what happens when machines start creating interfaces that look surprisingly good.We also tackle deeper questions about whether AI is making us dumber, why human judgment remains irreplaceable, and how to use AI as a learning tool rather than just a productivity hack.This episode of The Bootstraped Founder is sponsored by Paddle.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/nick-groeneveld-exploring-ais-impact-on-modern-design/ The podcast episode: https://tbf.fm/episodes/407-nick-groeneveld-exploring-ais-impact-on-modern-designCheck out Podscan, the Podcast database that transcribes every podcast episode out there minutes after it gets released: https://podscan.fmSend me a voicemail on Podline: https://podline.fm/arvidYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.

Tiang Lim Foo, General Partner at Forge Ventures, and Jeremy Au discussed how Southeast Asia's tech and venture capital landscape is evolving through cycles of hype, correction, and AI-driven transformation. They unpack the eFishery scandal as a clearing event, reframe expectations around exits, and debate whether venture capital remains viable in a region where only one unicorn appears every four years. They explore the split between local and global-first startups, how AI is reviving SaaS through productivity gains, and why only a few VC funds will likely outperform. Tiang also shares how fatherhood shaped his leadership style and how delayed gratification builds better founders and better kids. 02:43 eFishery was a clearing event that exposed systemic gaps: The scandal's late-stage exposure revealed weaknesses in due diligence from seed to growth rounds. Tiang and Jeremy discuss how this singular event damaged investor confidence and might risk Southeast Asia facing a “lost decade” unless the ecosystem regains trust and transparency through police investigations. 08:20 Power law math must shift for Southeast Asia: Tiang explains why assuming a unicorn every year is flawed. With only one home run in Southeast Asia every four years, only two to four VC funds will hit top-tier returns in the region. He outlines how funds must underwrite exits between $100 million to $500 million and reverse-engineer ownership, dilution, and ticket size accordingly. 14:32 The ecosystem is splitting into two startup types: Baskit is an example of a hyper-local play focused on Indonesia's supply chain, while Mito Health began in Singapore and now earns more revenue in the US. Tiang shares how these two paths local capital efficiency versus global market scale require different underwriting logic and founder support. 21:04 AI is reviving SaaS by changing productivity math: SEA companies previously avoided SaaS due to low labor costs. Now, AI-powered tools like Vercel enable 10x productivity, allowing startups to reduce headcount and speed up delivery cycles. Boards and management are pushing AI pilots across conglomerates and tech companies. 26:08 ChatGPT's viral growth unlocked new software models: Tiang highlights how its intuitive UI and cross-language support made it usable with zero training. Unlike older tools like Evernote that required localization, ChatGPT's frictionless adoption signals a shift in how enterprise software scales globally. 29:03 AI is widening the power law: Some lean teams hit 15K to 20K MRR without fundraising. Others build toward massive ARR and attract large rounds. Tiang explains how AI-native startups either stay bootstrapped or scale explosively, polarizing outcomes and reshaping venture expectations. 37:47 Parenthood reshaped Tiang's leadership and time discipline: With two kids and a hard stop at 5:30 p.m. daily, Tiang structures board meetings around decisions, ensures clear agendas, and enforces pre-reading. He also draws parallels between parenting and investing both require influence, not control.

Ivo Dimitrov is co-founder and Chief Venture Officer at Finum, a neobank and financial solutions provider for SMEs and freelancers across Europe. Previously serving as CPO for five years, Ivo transformed his role to focus on high-risk, high-reward products, particularly AI accounting solutions. Before Finum, he co-founded a startup incubator (before the term existed) that launched hundreds of products, including the successful Modul Bank, now a top-three fast-growing SME bank in Russia. Based in Berlin, Ivo brings over a decade of fintech and product development experience to building the future of AI-powered business tools.SummaryIn this episode, Dominic explores the evolution from traditional product management to venture-focused innovation with Ivo, who's pioneering AI accounting solutions that promise to revolutionise how SMEs handle their finances. From his unique "Chief Venture Officer" role to the strategic decision to orchestrate rather than build AI models, discover how Finum is creating proactive AI agents that handle accounting tasks automatically while ensuring human oversight and trust.The conversation delves into the psychology of AI adoption, the importance of conversational UI design, and why the future belongs to companies that can integrate seamlessly into emerging AI platforms rather than compete with them. Ivo shares hard-won lessons from launching AI products in regulated industries and explains why "storytellers" are more valuable than ML engineers in today's AI landscape.DiscoverOrchestration Over Creation: The biggest mistake AI companies make is trying to build their own models instead of orchestrating existing foundation models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Time-to-market and adaptability are more crucial than proprietary technology.The Storyteller Role: Success in AI products requires "storytellers" - people who can explain complex requirements to AI models in simple terms. This skill is more valuable than traditional ML engineering for most AI applications.Conversational UI Revolution: The future of software interfaces isn't traditional buttons and forms, but enriched conversational experiences that dynamically present the right UI elements based on context and user requests.Proactive vs Reactive AI: The most valuable AI products don't wait for user requests - they proactively identify opportunities, send reminders, and take action, requiring only verification rather than instruction from users.Platform Integration Strategy: As AI platforms like ChatGPT become dominant, success will come from seamless integration rather than platform competition. Think App Store dynamics rather than trying to build competing ecosystems.Trust Through Transparency: AI adoption in high-stakes domains like accounting requires insurance backing, clear reasoning explanations for every decision, and the ability for users to easily override AI choices when needed.The Psychology of AI Acceptance: Humans apply zero-tolerance standards to AI errors while accepting much higher error rates from humans. Overcoming this requires strategic trust-building and demonstrable value delivery.European Market Complexity: Despite appearing unified, Europe requires country-specific approaches - Germans spend 12-17 minutes reading terms and conditions that French users skip through in 7-10 seconds, fundamentally affecting product design and adoption strategies.Connect with Ivo- https://www.linkedin.com/in/millt/Book RecommendationDominic's book Mind Your F**king Business is out nowSign up to receive the weekly newsletter:

«Sie vergleichen bei mir ins Leere.» Ui, diese dritte Folge. Könnte sein, dass wir eigentlich woanders hin wollten, aber dann mitten in vielen uns wichtigen Gedanken hängen geblieben sind... könnte sein, dass wir in all den Extraschlaufen rund um das 'Bewohnen des Körpers' genau das sagen, was dir ermöglicht, einen liebevolleren Umgang und ein wertschätzenderes Denken über deinen eigenen Körper zu finden. Das wünschen wir uns sehr. Darum nehmen wir diese wilde Folge mit in diese vierteilige Körperserie. Reden über Dad Bods, über das 'Es' anstelle der 'Sie', über faltenloses Altern und ringen um die Antwort auf die Frage: Was hilft denn Frauen im Blick auf ihren Körper in der vulnerablen Lebensphase 'Mutter'?

Brian #1: Open Source Security work isn't “Special” Seth Larson It seems like security is special in a sense that we don't want just anyone working on the security aspect of a project. We just want the trusted maintainers, right? Seth is arguing that this is the wrong mindset It makes more sense that we maybe have security experts contribute to many projects, and that someone working on security for just one project doesn't benefit from scale. “Maintainers don't see how other projects are triaging vulnerabilities and can't learn from each other. They can't compare notes on what they are seeing and whether they are doing the right thing. Isolation in security work breeds a culture of fear. Fear of doing the wrong thing and making your users unsafe.” “These “security contributors” could be maintainers or contributors of other open source projects that know about security, they could be foundations offering up resources to their ecosystem, or engineers at companies helping their dependency graph.” But how do we build trust in these individuals? Meeting in person works. But there are other ways as well. I'd personally love to have someone contact me about a project of mine regarding a security problem or process that the project could/should follow. Especially if I could see other projects I trust already trusting this individual to work on the other projects.

Do Your User Stories End in a Coffee Break? - Mike CohnEver write a user story that the team never finishes?That's a sign you're dealing with an open story—one that doesn't deliver a clear, finished result to the user.Let's fix that. A closed user story is one where the user completes a meaningful goal.Think: “Ah, I finished reviewing resumes. Time for a coffee break.”Contrast that with this story:“As a recruiter, I can manage the job ads I've placed.”That's not closed. Why?Because “manage” never ends. You don't manage something and then say, “Great! That's done forever.”For Here are some red flag words to watch out for: managemaintainadministerconfiguremonitorAs a recruiter, I can review resumes so I can pass good candidates to the hiring manager.I can change the expiration date of an ad to keep it visible—or close it when we're done.I can delete unqualified applications so the team doesn't waste time.I can update ad descriptions to attract better candidates. Each one finishes with something tangible.Closed Stories Let Users Take a Coffee BreakRed Flag Words to WatchThese words signal that your story might be too broad or too vague. How to Close Open StoriesBreak “manage job ads” into stories with meaningful outcomes: Each one earns that coffee break. Why Closed Stories MatterClosed stories avoid misunderstandings. A vague story like “manage ads” might mean running reports to the product owner; the same story might mean UI tweaks to the team. That gap in understanding leads to rework.And yes—open stories have a place as epics early in a project. But when it's time to build, break them down into stories with clear outcomes.That's how teams build clarity—and succeed with agile.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

From there, they dive into what clients think during the procurement process, how proposals get evaluated, what builds (or erodes) trust, and what makes a consultant stand out.Now that Susan is stepping into UX consulting herself, this conversation also touches on how her years on the client side are shaping how she approaches her new business, Perspecta Consulting.Whether you're a consultant trying to better understand your clients or a UX leader considering bringing in outside help this episode is packed with honest insights and practical advice.Topics include:What really goes on behind the scenes when a client is scoping and approving a UX research projectThe qualities that make a consultant stand out during the selection processWhy trust and communication are everything and what erodes them fastWhat clients wish consultants knew about proposals and pricingHow to set consultants up for success (and what happens when you don't)Susan's transition from research director to independent consultantNotable Quotes"I'm looking for a thought partner—not a salesperson. Someone who's going to help me solve a problem, not just sell me their services… If you tell me everything you can do before even asking what I need, it feels like a car salesman pitch. That's a turnoff.""I like hearing a lot of questions from consultants in that first call. Curiosity is a core skill for a researcher, and I want to see it right away.""If the methodology and reasoning are weak but the price is high, that's when I start to get skeptical.""Consistent communication is key.

A strong project kickoff strategy can make or break your software project. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit and expand upon their earlier episode, Mastering the Project Kickoff – Setting the Stage for Success. This time, they use AI not to redefine strategy, but to reflect on what worked, what's changed, and what new insights can improve how teams approach kickoffs today. The result is a deeper, more refined look at launching software projects with intention and clarity—before writing a single line of code. Why Your Project Kickoff Strategy Still Matters “Two weeks in, and no one agrees on the goal.” It's a story most developers know too well. The reason? A weak or nonexistent project kickoff strategy. Rob and Michael break down how early misalignment on goals, responsibilities, or MVPs can derail projects quickly. To avoid this, teams need a consistent, structured approach that starts before the first line of code is written. How AI Improves Your Project Kickoff Strategy AI can't replace a good team conversation, but it can support a better project kickoff strategy by helping structure discussions, define deliverables, and highlight gaps in planning. Some examples AI tools can generate: Stakeholder role outlines Risk assessment prompts Project objective statements Kickoff meeting checklists With good prompting, AI becomes a partner in better planning. Core Elements of a Strong Project Kickoff Strategy A repeatable project kickoff strategy should include the following: 1. Purpose and Objectives What are we building, and why? Define the business problem and expected outcome clearly. 2. Team Roles and Ownership List all stakeholders, assign responsibilities, and clarify decision-makers. Misunderstood roles create avoidable blockers. 3. Process and Delivery Plan Establish your delivery method (Agile, Scrum, Kanban) and how progress will be tracked, tested, and shared. 4. MVP and Scope Control Rob and Michael emphasize: everything must map to the MVP. If it doesn't, reconsider the feature. 5. Documentation and Visibility Centralize everything. Use Notion, Confluence, or shared drives, and record meetings for searchability and auditability. Warning Signs of a Poor Kickoff Strategy Michael and Rob call out red flags that reveal when your project kickoff strategy is weak or broken: No written MVP or goals Absent stakeholders during planning Overlapping roles with unclear boundaries “We'll figure it out later” mindset No documentation or decision logs Ignoring these signs leads to confusion, rework, and a breakdown in team trust. Anchor Your Kickoff Strategy with an MVP “If your feature doesn't pass a test, it's not part of your MVP.” Michael shares a practical tip: create user stories first, then turn them into pass/fail tests. This ensures that your project kickoff strategy stays laser-focused on outcomes—not distractions like UI polish or edge-case bells and whistles. Challenge: Audit Your Project Kickoff Strategy Before your next launch, hold a quick strategy review. Ask: Do we have a clearly defined MVP? Are team roles written and confirmed? Are meeting notes and decisions documented? Does every feature connect to project goals? If not, revise your strategy now—before you waste time.

In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, we welcome back Pawel Krupa, founder of the Future Robotics YouTube channel, to dive deep into the rapidly evolving world of industrial robotics. With over a decade of hands-on experience integrating and programming systems from Fanuc, KUKA, and others, Pawel shares exclusive insights on some of the biggest changes reshaping robotics in 2025. These changes are not just cosmetic updates; they are being driven by new ISO standards and increasing cybersecurity requirements across industrial automation.We explore the hardware and software changes coming to Fanuc's R-50iA cabinet, including multiple Ethernet ports, enhanced vision systems with built-in lighting, and a groundbreaking integration of Python for native robot programming. KUKA is also undergoing a major transformation with its KC5 slim cabinet and KUKA iiQ OS, a Linux-based control system with new UI, simulation environments, and plug-and-play capabilities. These updates signify a paradigm shift where robots become not only smarter and safer, but far easier to configure, maintain, and upgrade.The conversation expands into one of the most talked-about frontiers in robotics: humanoid robots. Are they just hype or do they have a real role to play in industrial environments? We assess the business case for humanoids, especially in facilities where traditional automation has been financially unjustifiable. From handling tasks like herb sorting in food production to stepping into high-risk environments, humanoids may soon bridge the automation gap in low-throughput, labor-intensive workflows.We also explore how AI is influencing robot deployment, from edge vision systems to cycle time optimization. Pawel outlines how drag-and-drop AI-powered tools are slashing development time for vision systems from hours to minutes, while also lowering the barrier to entry for those without years of machine vision experience. Vision systems that used to require complex calibration and scripting are now being trained on real-time images or CAD models, making robotic integration faster and more accessible than ever.Finally, we close with actionable startup ideas and a bold look into the future of collaborative robots, AI, and hybrid ecosystems of humanoids and industrial arms working side-by-side. If you're in automation, manufacturing, or considering a robotics venture, this episode is packed with strategic insight, technical knowledge, and forward-thinking ideas you won't want to miss.

Darpan Saini is the CEO of App0, a generative AI platform that builds intelligent, human-centered digital assistants for companies. Previously, he co-founded Cloud Lending Solutions, which streamlined lending operations for major financial institutions before its acquisition by Q2. Darpan is also a member of the ELFA Innovation Advisory Council, where he helps shape the future of FinTech.  In this episode… Despite investing in website optimization tools, eCommerce brands are struggling to increase conversions. The user experience on most sites has plateaued, with little innovation in how shoppers search, explore, and make decisions. As customer behavior shifts toward AI-powered conversational tools, how can brands adapt their digital experiences to meet these expectations? With experience developing generative AI for eCommerce, Darpan Saini maintains that brands can transform static sites into intelligent, interactive experiences. Traditional optimization tactics, like minor UI tweaks or static product filters, offer diminishing returns. Instead, Darpan recommends investing in AI-powered quizzes, personalized product detail pages, and conversational search that can adapt in real time to each shopper's needs. By enabling one-to-one personalization without needing user data histories, brands can convert more first-time visitors, reduce returns, and stand out in a crowded market.  In this week's episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant speaks with Darpan Saini, CEO of App0, about improving conversion rates through AI-powered shopping experiences. Darpan talks about the rise of voice commerce, how his company develops A/B testing to increase conversions, and offers advice for deploying AI-powered shopping assistants. 

Pins are dead! Long live bookmarks! Pins was never a good name for the feature we have on CodePen where you can mark a Pen or Collection to more quickly jump back to it from anywhere on the site. The word is too similar to "Pen" that it's just awkward, not to mention it's not exactly and obvious metaphor. A bookmark is a much more clear term and icon, so we decided to switch to it. Switching the UI is kind of the easy part. It's kind of a cultural thing at CodePen, but when we make a change like this, we change it 100% through the entire code base, down to the database itself. In order to do that, we had to chunk it into stages so that those stages can roll out independently, but in order, to make it seamless. Now that it's done, we were able to extend the functionality of Bookmarks a bit, such that bookmarking a template is extra useful. One place to see that is on the new Create page. Time Jumps

Employees at the General Services Administration appear poised to test Grok 3, the artificial intelligence tool built by Elon Musk's company xAI, according to a GitHub page referencing the agency's work. The GitHub page operated by GSA and its digital government group Technology Transformation Services references the Grok AI model as one it is testing and that the team is actively discussing as part of its 10x AI Sandbox. A GSA spokesperson told FedScoop in a response to an inquiry about the agency's work with Grok “GSA is evaluating the use of several top-tier AI solutions to empower agencies and our public servants to best achieve their goals. We welcome all American companies and models who abide by our terms and conditions.”A post from Tuesday shows what appears to be one GSA employee trying to access Grok 3 for testing, but struggling to do so. Several names of the people active on the GitHub page match those of workers affiliated with GSA. The 10x AI Sandbox project is described on GitHub as “a venture studio in collaboration with the General Services Administration (GSA). Its primary goal is to enable federal agencies to experiment with artificial intelligence (AI) in a secure, FedRAMP-compliant environment.” It continues: “By providing access to base models from leading AI companies and offering advanced UI features, the sandbox empowers agencies to test and validate new AI use cases efficiently.” The public version of the 10x AI Sandbox project page on GitHub was taken down after the publication of this story, redirecting now to a 404 error page. Interest in testing Grok comes as GSA continues to work on GSAi, an artificial intelligence tool built by the agency and meant to help employees access multiple AI models. At launch, the GSAi tool included access to several systems, including tools from Anthropic and Meta. Notably, Grok came under fire last week after promoting various antisemitic statements on the Musk-owned social media platform X. A top digital rights group is pushing back on the IRS's data-sharing agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, writing in a new court filing that the pact violates federal tax code and fails to take into account the real-world consequences of bulk data disclosure. In an amicus brief filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the Electronic Frontier Foundation argued that the “historical context” of the tax code section that ensures confidentiality of returns and return information “favors a narrow interpretation of disclosure provisions.” EFF also made the case for why the bulk disclosure of taxpayer information — in this case to Immigration and Customs Enforcement — is especially harmful due to “record linkage errors” that set the stage for “an increase in mistaken and dangerous ICE enforcement actions against taxpayers.” Nonprofit groups sued the Trump administration in March, shortly after the data-sharing deal between the IRS and ICE was announced. Soon after, the tax agency's then-acting commissioner resigned, reportedly in protest. In May, a Trump-appointed federal judge refused to block the agreement, allowing the IRS to continue delivering taxpayer data to ICE. The ruling, DHS said in a statement, was “a victory for the American people and for common sense.” As the D.C. Circuit Court considers the appeal, the Electronic Frontier Foundation wants to make sure that the “historical context” of tax and privacy law is taken into account.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined again by Ricki Heicklen to discuss the evolution of her trading education business, Arbor, one year after their first conversation. They dive deep into the pedagogy of trading, exploring how simulated markets teach concepts like adverse selection, team dynamics, and risk management through hands-on experience. Ricki shares war stories from the bootcamp trenches—infinite loop bugs that mirror Knight Capital's disaster, WiFi outages that create unexpected trading opportunities, and that the most successful trading teams often focus on internal team communication even more than trade execution or technical acumen.See the full transcript: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/think-like-a-trader-ricki-heicklen/–[Patrick notes: Complex Systems now produces occasional video episodes.You can access them directly on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@patio11podcast.

In this episode, Will and Christy talk about everything from big Squarespace updates (especially around e-commerce), to taking real sick days (or not), and why it's actually okay if your website isn't the prettiest thing on the internet. We get into what dogs can teach us about web design, using loyalty and clear directions as guiding lights, and even where to find that “sunny spot” for your work and wellbeing. You'll walk away with practical changes you can make to your Squarespace site, and a few reminders that taking care of yourself is just as important as impressing your clients.

Todd Olson joins me to talk about making analytics worth paying for and relevant in the age of AI. The CEO of Pendo, an analytics SAAS company, Todd shares how the company evolved to support a wider audience by simplifying dashboards, removing user roadblocks, and leveraging AI to both generate and explain insights. We also talked about the roles of product management at Pendo. Todd views AI product management as a natural evolution for adaptable teams and explains how he thinks about hiring product roles in 2025. Todd also shares how he thinks about successful user adoption of his product around “time to value” and “stickiness” over vanity metrics like time spent.    Highlights/ Skip to: How Todd has addressed analytics apathy over the past decade at Pendo (1:17) Getting back to basics and not barraging people with more data and power (4:02) Pendo's strategy for keeping the product experience simple without abandoning power users (6:44) Whether Todd is considering using an LLM (prompt-based) answer-driven experience with Pendo's UI (8:51) What Pendo looks for when hiring product managers right now, and why (14:58) How Pendo evaluates AI product managers, specifically (19:14) How Todd Olson views AI product management compared to traditional software product management (21:56) Todd's concerns about the probabilistic nature of AI-generated answers in the product UX (27:51) What KPIs Todd uses to know whether Pendo is doing enough to reach its goals (32:49)   Why being able to tell what answers are best will become more important as choice increases (40:05)   Quotes from Today's Episode “Let's go back to classic Geoffrey Moore Crossing the Chasm, you're selling to early adopters. And what you're doing is you're relying on the early adopters' skill set and figuring out how to take this data and connect it to business problems. So, in the early days, we didn't do anything because the market we were selling to was very, very savvy; they're hungry people, they just like new things. They're getting data, they're feeling really, really smart, everything's working great. As you get bigger and bigger and bigger, you start to try to sell to a bigger TAM, a bigger audience, you start trying to talk to the these early majorities, which are, they're not early adopters, they're more technology laggards in some degree, and they don't understand how to use data to inform their job. They've never used data to inform their job. There, we've had to do a lot more work.” Todd (2:04 - 2:58) “I think AI is amazing, and I don't want to say AI is overhyped because AI in general is—yeah, it's the revolution that we all have to pay attention to. Do I think that the skills necessary to be an AI product manager are so distinct that you need to hire differently? No, I don't. That's not what I'm seeing. If you have a really curious product manager who's going all in, I think you're going to be okay. Some of the most AI-forward work happening at Pendo is not just product management. Our design team is going crazy. And I think one of the things that we're seeing is a blend between design and product, that they're always adjacent and connected; there's more sort of overlappiness now.” Todd (22:41 - 23:28) “I think about things like stickiness, which may not be an aggregate time, but how often are people coming back and checking in? And if you had this companion or this agent that you just could not live without, and it caused you to come into the product almost every day just to check in, but it's a fast check-in, like, a five-minute check-in, a ten-minute check-in, that's pretty darn sticky. That's a good metric. So, I like stickiness as a metric because it's measuring [things like], “Are you thinking about this product a lot?” And if you're thinking about it a lot, and like, you can't kind of live without it, you're going to go to it a lot, even if it's only a few minutes a day. Social media is like that. Thankfully I'm not addicted to TikTok or Instagram or anything like that, but I probably check it nearly every day. That's a pretty good metric. It gets part of my process of any products that you're checking every day is pretty darn good. So yeah, but I think we need to reframe the conversation not just total time. Like, how are we measuring outcomes and value, and I think that's what's ultimately going to win here.” Todd (39:57) Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddaolson/  X: https://x.com/tolson  todd@pendo.io

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: Media Folders Brief history How old: created in Apr 2025 by João Mauricio (jmauricio) Versions available: 1.0.3 which supports Drupal 10.3 and 11 Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Test coverage Number of open issues: 9 open issues, 2 of which are bugs, although one was just fixed Usage stats: 61 sites Module features and usage The module mimics a file structure by associating media entities with a taxonomy hierarchy It then provides an intuitive, drag-and-drop UI to move items between locations, drag in new items, or even search within a particular “folder”, including a recursive search When you drag in files, it uses “smart” logic to automatically assign files to Media bundles It provides a form display widget, a view display widget, a CKEditor plugin, and it's compatible with other filesystem modules, like S3 File System This kind of interface is a requirement I've seen in RFPs by companies looking for a new CMS, so having this available as a drop-in solution
