7 Powers by Hamilton Helmer

one that I would recommend for other people to read is Seven Powers by Hamilton Helmer, which um Netflix has used a lot, we use a lot. It's just if you're starting out, great to have a strategy framework.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
