It's been two agonizing months for Popeyes fans. After the Great Chicken Sandwich War of 2019 exploded in August, the battle petered out as Popeyes restocked its chicken sandwich inventory. But finally, Popeyes is ready to dish out some greasy chicken love once again—and chose the perfect day to do it: Sunday. You know, the day that top competitor Chick-fil-A closes its doors every week.
Yesterday, streaming editor Kelsey Sutton did a deep dive on HBO Max's biggest uncertainties, many of which will likely be answered during tonight's WarnerMedia Day for investors. We did get a few answers during the AT&T earnings call about the company's streaming plans, including confirmation that HBO Max will in fact be the foundation for AT&T's streaming ambitions. The company also said it will sink $2 billion into HBO Max in 2020, hoping to drive subscriber numbers north of 50 million in the next five years.

Working in a fast-paced environment like a start-up means that you're often at the mercy of "fires" and higher priority events that take place, so you may feel setbacks more often.

In many cases, the timelines we set are arbitrary, and we can be flexible to get the project done right, not just get it done "in time."

At the end of the quarter, we'll often hear "But I need to mark this OKR as 'done'" which could result in work that isn't fully fleshed out or shipping something you aren't 100% proud to ship. I believe that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing right.
