Every time you provide an option, you're asking the user to make a decision. That means they will have to think about something and decide about it. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but, in general, you should always try to minimize the number of decisions that people have to make. - Matthew Bischoff

The only thing that matters to a company of any size is its product and customer experience. That's it. That's what creates value. The number and type of people who work at a company do not matter. The bureaucracy that develops to manage those people does not matter. The only thing that matters is what gets ultimately produced by the entire system of an organization. If you think of it this way, then you can't be influenced by the ridiculous inertia of political crap that has developed internally. If there are deficiencies in the product or experience that leads to decreased value for the customer, it’s because some part of the system is broken. So you fix the system in such a way that you cannot produce bad products or experiences. Those fixes might include things like a reduction in workforce, hiring more talented employees, or changing bureaucratic rules. It doesn't really matter as long as the product improves. But how to know when the product is improving? - Matthew Bischoff

I'm a freshman at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business studying Economic Consulting & Public Policy Analysis, and I'm in the hunt for an internship this summer. My search process actually started in Backpack where I created a page with a list of all the internships I had found after scouring the Internet and reaching out to personal contacts. Using that list I was able to narrow my search down to 10-15 organizations that I feel would offer me the best possible fit and experience. - Matthew Bischoff

The fastest way to improve your interface is to improve your copy-writing. - Matthew Bischoff

My instinct told me that to say an app was available “on the App Store” was wrong, that an app should be available “in the App Store”, the App Store being a destination where I could walk in, pick an app off a shelf, pay my money and leave. But I’ll be honest, in the process of writing all this down, I’m ready to put an app on the App Store. - Matthew Bischoff

I have always been fascinated by pavlovian conditioning because it shows how little control animals really have over their own behavior. The most famous example of this is the experiment Ivan Pavlov performed on his dogs in the 1890's. Dogs normally salivate at the smell and sight of meat, but Pavlov noticed his dogs began to salivate when they noticed the lab technician who fed them would enter the room. These “psychic salivations” didn’t make sense to him. - Matthew Bischoff

Clearly, many people believe that everything we do, everything we post, everything we think in the online world is somehow protected. I suppose it makes sense if you are the one doing, posting, or thinking, but it’s not realistic. Since when did the online world cease to function in reality? Simply because people break the law online doesn’t mean there is no law- or worse yet, there is a different law for the Internet. The laws that exist in the offline world exist online as well – objectively. - Matthew Bischoff
