I feel like there should be a integration be between Google Calendar and your HR tools that sends you a bill for every meeting you run. That meeting could have been an email instead it cost you $800k in people's time. #ProductManagement

It's turtles all the way down.... #ai #softwaredevelopment #agile #productdevelopment Gonna model myself as a concierge product manager. Like the Etsy version. This isn't drop-shipped AI prod management, it's hand made. This post and meme, ironically were NOT generated with AI.

To get a #designsky discourse going: after making AI mandatory for work last month, Shopify is At It Again. The CDO says since "AI enables anyone to make things usable" (lol), Shopify will just have the titles Designer and Writer instead of user experience, content design, etc. Aesthetics-ass idea

What does it mean to build and grow a product if software development did get 20-30x faster? Another banger from @richmironov.bsky.social www.mironov.com/ai-bottlenec...

For folks who are still using or prefer Substack; outside of the newsletter functionality and the online archive logic, what exactly about it is holding you there?

This tiny device can shrink dangerous blood clots. It’s called the ‘milli-spinner’ and its invention was partly an accident…
