A weekly share of think-pieces, tips and resources making their way around the GoKart Labs team.

Empowering your team to dream

How to tackle system design

Nathan Curtis shares a valuable method he employs to walk away from a meeting with well structured data, priorities and task ownership. Identify the parts, define the product and assign a person.
