When Pinterest works well, it helps you find things that are meaningful to you. We want to build a system that helps you do that.

I used to wake up and look at our analytics and think, “What if yesterday was the last day anyone used Pinterest?” Like, everyone collectively decided, “We’re done!” Over time I got more confidence.

We're trying to do something so that when the average person uses Pinterest, it has to make the service better.

I always just want to move along to the next step.

I kind of think of engineering like the chefs at a restaurant. Nobody's going to deny chefs are integrally important, but there's also so many other people who contribute to a great meal.

I use Pinterest for everything. Book collections, trips, hobbies. It’s all there. I planned my wedding on it. When I had a kid, I planned all his stuff on it. So it was nice to discover that I wasn’t the only one.

I think the thing that I've learned is that really great people, they actually want to work on hard problems.
