The topic of asking questions during interviews has been on my to-do list for a while… so, it’s the perfect time to finally summarize it.

This time Testfully “free forever” plan has been transformed into paid. 🫠

Companies still misuse this tactic to bring customers onboard with false claims.

Airbnb is doing it for ages with price manipulation by adding hidden fees.

…but bad habits contagious.

Got a promo with a good hotel discount price, went to the last step and price is almost doubled once all hidden fees applied.

It is so sad to have dodgy practices as a norm. 🤦‍♂️

1/ After chatting with friends I’ve noticed a strange side effects caused by “back to the office” movement.

Companies are applying strict rules, monitoring office attendance and building complex schedules for in person attendance.

So! Forget about buying a car on Amazon as it became a legacy already.

The real today’s innovation is from Domino’s that will keep pizza warm.

If they manage to create a seamless experience for customers with options to select financing, insurance and possibly trade-in old car - it will be a win! Priceless feature to avoid in-person sales experience fighting for every penny to get the best price.

1/ Rumors circulating about Amazon custom OS development for many of Amazon devices (Fire TV, Kindle Fire, etc.). It would be interesting to follow up on this rollout, especially on the decision to go ahead with React Native as a framework.

Bing Image Creator is truly amazing 🤩 I’ve been testing some ideas and generated images looks stunning! Once Microsoft allows commercial use it will be a game changer for small businesses with the access to design tools that can save money and time. #legalbattlefirst
