Here are your picks for this week:
š„«All roads lead to the Product
First a very interesting blog from Josh Devenny on starting (and shutting down) a startup at Atlassian.
Increasingly often do we see larger companies take the startup-within-a-startup approach to innovation and diversification - typically with mixed results. Interesting lessons learnt in there, some of which donāt apply only to this specific context.
āØļø If it aināt code, donāt fix it
Second, a neat 14-point checklist for your AWS architecture. Nowās as good a time as any to perform this kind of quick review and look for areas to work on.
š” Idea of the week
Finally, as we are going through uncertain times, we look for reference points and advice on what to do. So here are the results from a survey of VCs and Founders on how they see the crisis and what they are doing about it, as well as some advice from VC firms.
Also, a database of Covid19-related projects hoping to make a difference and looking for volunteers.
I hope you enjoyed this, have a good week and stay safe!
