Anthony Bourdain once said RATATOUILLE is the best food movie of all time.
“The best restaurant movie ever made, the best chef movie. The tiny details are astonishing:
•The faded burns on the cooks’ wrists.
•The ‘personal histories’ of the cooks.
•The attention paid to the food.
•And the Anton Ego ratatouille epiphany hit me like a punch in the chest–literally breathtaking.
I saw it in a theater entirely full with adults–and the reaction to that moment was what movie making was once–a long time ago–all about:
Audible surprise, delight, awe and even a measure of enlightenment.
I am hugely and disproportionately proud that my miniscule contribution (if any) early early in the project’s development led to a ‘thank you’ in the credits. Amazing how much they got ‘right.’”

Airbnb stuck their entire customer journey up on their office walls.
Drawn by a Pixar animator, pinned where everyone walks past them daily.
30 frames.
15 for hosts.
15 for guests.
They call it "Snow White."
Chesky stole the idea from a Walt Disney biography in 2011.
Every new product idea has to answer:
→ "Which frame does this serve?"
If it fits a frame, that determines the owner, who prioritises it against their KPIs.
If it doesn’t fit a frame, it doesn’t serve the customer, and doesn’t get shipped.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

Steve jobs absolutely cooked with this:
"It's not a faith in technology. It's faith in people. Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them."

Scientists have been communicating with apes via sign language since the 1960s; apes have never asked one question.
