"My hope in writing on Medium is to share about the hard knocks, the successes, what worked and why it worked in case it may illuminate for new writers, a path to succeeding without burnout."

Two years ago, Daniel Kang gave a popular talk at Medium Day about asymmetric bets. The next day, he received a message from an editor at Wiley & Sons asking him if he’d consider turning those ideas into a book. Earlier this year, he published that book: The Super Upside Factor.

"I learned that it’s okay to start without having a definite plan.

Excited to share that I'm joining Medium as VP of Engineering! Throughout my career I've built products that connect people and ideas at scale. Along the way, I’ve seen how powerful technology can be - both to bring us together and, when incentives go wrong, to drive us apart. Medium represents a different path. It’s a writing platform where thoughtful conversation is rewarded, quality matters more than outrage, and authentic voices can rise above the noise. I’m inspired by Medium’s mission to create a better kind of internet and I’m eager to help shape that future with such a talented and passionate team. Whether you’re a current or former Medium user, or simply someone who loves to read and write online, I’d love your feedback. - What do you value most in a platform for meaningful writing and ideas? - What doesn’t work for you? - And what would you hope to see from us in the years ahead?
