# Focused Simple Products Inspire

I’m drawn to products that feel clean, simple, and focused, and I find that kind of product thinking inspiring. My reactions range from OpenAI products to the intensity of attention people bring to a single meal; I also want to revisit examples of Apple’s internal principles from time to time.

On December 21, 2024, I described OpenAI products as “clean and simple” and said they were inspiring. I did not specify which products or what features inspired me.

On November 18, 2025, I called the focus involved in a single chicken tender meal at Canes “insane” and “Seriously inspiring 🤣”. I did not identify who devoted that focus or explain what the linked material showed. The accompanying line about being obsessed with people who are obsessed was @davidsenra’s, not mine.

On April 14, 2026, I shared a post describing Apple’s internal principles from a 2004 employee badge and said, “Gotta come back to this every once in a while.” The captured post does not reveal the principles themselves, so I can’t say what they were.
