Haris Butt San Francisco, CA Cofounder @ [Highlight](https://highlightai.com/) *Prev. Early Square and Notion, VP of Product and Design at ClickUp, and some fun adventures in between.* --- I’m a technologist drawn to the awkward tension between elegance and complexity. Over the past 17 years, I’ve worked with and led teams to build category-defining products now used by hundreds of millions worldwide. These days, I split my time between being a dad and advising innovative teams and leaders. --- I started to take notes here as a way to get things off my mind. I'm pretty much entirely off of social platforms these days. I enjoy them here and there, but I've realized my time is just better spent elsewhere. 9.17.25 Such incredible range. Every set is an adventure. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7jzrBuFBpA - https://youtu.be/T1tcUfUhR5U 9.15.25 Will be interesting to see how the new MacOS, iOS, iPadOS ecosystems converge/evolve over the next few years. Latest release is a disappointment, but I understand sweeping changes are just not feasible to make without testing in the real world.
