For those still flying high on the awesome features from this release, check out the latest episode of the Alter Everything Podcast, 53: Always improving: the life cycle of an idea.

 

@CristonS hosts @jpoz and @Claje, and had a chat about ideas: where they come from, and how they ultimately get implemented.

 

Happy listening!
