Hey friends, it's time for another WebFindsFriday! This week I've been reflecting on two big things: writing well, and learning better from our mistakes. Both are underrated skills in tech, but they quietly shape how products get built, how teams align, and how trust is earned.
✍️ What I'm Revisiting
I recently revisited Everybody Writes by Ann Handley, and I'll be honest: it's more than a book about writing. It's a mindset reset, especially for anyone building products, leading teams, or telling their story in today's noisy world.
Here are a few lessons that hit home:
- Writing is not grammar. It's clarity.
- Empathy is a writing tool.
- Voice builds connection.
The biggest takeaway? If you care about what you're writing, your readers will too.
🧠 Idea That Stuck With Me
How often do we convert mistakes into long-term improvements?
In fast-paced teams, there's often urgency to fix problems and move on. But real maturity shows in what happens after the fix, the reflection, documentation, and prevention.
Short-term resolution is just step one. Turning it into lasting improvement is where the magic (and resilience) happens.
💬 Quick Thought
So here's a question I often ask myself and my team:
What are we doing to ensure we don't need to solve this same problem twice?
