What true obsession with craft looks like 💡

Craft is so much more than a shimmering landing page or micro animation… It’s sweating all of the tiny details and having a thorough understanding of the edge cases in your product.

It’s a fantastic example of what it looks like to obsess over the craft of your product You can find his full episode here — https://www.dive.club/deep-dives/raphael-schaad And this episode also pulls in part of my conversation with Julius Tarng about his time at Linear — https://www.dive.club/deep-dives/julius-tarng
