Is anyone able to read business books without getting completely derailed thinking about how it relates to something at work?

Just wondering where all those second amendment people are who had lots of guns in case of government tyranny

Any internal platform product managers out there ever successfully billed other teams for their usage? What did you do? #productmanagement

I complained to the ombudsmen about Peter Dutton going unchallenged on the abc about linking the caravan explosives to pro Palestinian protestors. This is their bullshit response. #auspol

I hope future generations refer to this period of history as: "All the dumbest people doing all the dumbest things."

Completely astounded that this is still a thing... Chatting to a broker about a loan and they referred me to a site to submit my bank statements. It actually asked me for my online banking username and password, and told me with a straight face that this is secure 😆 🤪

My neighbour told me someone at their work identifies as a cat. I told them I've seen plenty of people identify as CEOs and we all went along with it.

Lol leopards ate the miners face #auspol

This is a pretty good skill to have because most teams aren't dumb

The most underrated skill of a Product Manager is being able to take the random collection of things that slyhe team wants to do and make it look like a cohesive roadmap.

An authenticated user is more valuable to you than an unauthenticated guest user, right?

Trump still smells like shit

I interrupt the apocalypse to present to you an ecosystem map of AI tools that could be very beneficial to any of you who are working in #productmanagement What products are you using to make your PM work easier, better, faster?

What if we tokenized the spices on the blockchain!

I used AI to make a kids dance rock song about why you shouldn't touch your face after touching your bum. It was fun. Don't ask. youtube.com/shorts/1lGPk...

You'd think removing Russel Crowe from a movie would make it better

The realization that I could pay Kyuss to reform has made me even more motivated to become Elon level rich

Product Managers should read this. We talk a lot about how product management is about creating value for the business by creating value for customers. Yet we see the tech landscape infested with anti patterns that aim to manipulate the customer. We should all be asking: "Is this anti customer?"

Very cynical at the moment. I've been sick since late November. First covid and then two flu like things

This is correct but it isn't going to happen

Maybe they should briefly discuss why they aren't using insights from the last retro

Cancel Your Next Sprint Retrospective If your team isn’t using insights from the last retro, you don’t need another one. Cancel it. Instead, revisit and apply what you already discussed. Stay pragmatic, happy Monday 😇

“You might be tempted to develop another made-up formula to help you make [priority] decisions. But I don’t recommend that. These are subjective decisions. The more we quantify them, the more we are to treat them as truth … stay open to the idea that we might have made the wrong decisions.”

What if Batman went after corporate criminals?

Probably the single worst self sabotage habit I have as a Product Manager is avoiding working on things that I think are (arbitrarily) behind or are taking too long Anyone else do this?

Going to do this one too. Works well with stopping saying "it depends"

Newsletter: We're at peak AI - generative AI models have hit the wall where they won’t improve much further thanks to a lack of training data, killer apps or any kind of sustainable business model. The results of a collapse could be catastrophic. wheresyoured.at/godot-isnt-making-it
