What’s been happening?
Is the Macbook Pro 2013 the best computer ever made?Jon's review of the new Macbook Pro: the screen, the keyboard, the thinness are great. He doesn't like the touchbar, and it crashed a lot initially.

Thanks to Bill for the Spotify introduction!
We tried out Amazon Transcribe and it was hilarious
Main topic: Partner communication, making decisionsWe got a question on Twitter from Dennis Martinez:“How often do you both keep in touch with each other talking about the product in an average day/week? How important is daily communication?”Jon and Justin have different decision making styles:
Justin is "quick start." He likes to make decisions quickly, and have a fast momentum.
Jon is more thoughtful and detail-oriented.
Having this balance is important!How we communicate:
Daily communication: Slack
Weekly call: Skype
How we make decisions: consensus.
Takeaways
This is the benefit of doing a small project before you launch something bigger.Example: where are we going for lunch? (XOXO), what source control are we going to use? (small project we did before Transistor)

Partner with someone who is trustworthy, autonomous.
Make sure there's enough overlap in your timezone.
Ensure your co-founder has enough time to dedicate to the project.
