The Story Of My
Product's Life

How a music streaming app became a personalized audio platform — through bold bets, killed features, and one cultural phenomenon.

From DVD-by-mail to streaming giant — including the password-sharing gamble that everyone said would fail.

Air mattresses to a global marketplace — and the pandemic pivot that nearly broke, then refocused, the company.

A near-death rewrite, a beloved blocks model, and a careful, late-but-right entry into AI.

A browser-based design tool that bet on multiplayer years too early — and the handoff feature it took a decade to get right.

The issue tracker that won on craft — by saying no to almost everything and obsessing over speed.
