SERIOUS THOUGHT from NEW ENGLAND: Reread The Declaration of Independence, focusing on the specific, profound reasons for one geopolitical area to sever ties with another. Then tell me why New England should not (as it did in 1814) seriously ponder independence from lawless, degraded America.

Very proud to still have a kernel of my past life hanging around. Very happy with how this came out except for the high E that went a little wide.

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social was thinking of your recent classical postings. This blows my socks off. classical.music.apple.com/us/album/176...

When your production of Der Rosenkavalier in 1969 needs an Italian tenor, naturally you just grab Pavarotti and don’t credit him. Crazy to stump across this little gem. music.apple.com/us/album/str...

Curious if there are any Amazon PM-Ts at the senior or principle level in my network on here. Prepping for an interview and I’d love a person to bounce some ideas off.

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

This is a fantastic introduction to Clean Language by Dr. Caitlin Walker. I wish I was better at practicing clean language but this has inspired be to get back on the wagon. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

I’m trying to come up with a new way to talk about either your individual or a groups readiness for change. I’m calling it the “Glinda to Elphaba spectrum”. Are you getting along to get along or are you more leaning towards being ready to burn it all down?

I was a little kid in a house with parents who liked “oldies”. This album is pure Christmas to me.

“Progress over perfection” assumes everyone understands where we’re all going together. That’s where most leaders fall down. If you don’t know which way to go it’s easy to mistake any action for progress.

Continually amazed at how coherent the text that AIs is while also being totally contextless in terms of how people connect to one another. So literal.

“Sometimes, the best thing we can do is let folks fail.” That’s standard advice in tough situations. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes I don’t think there are other options and yet… I’ve frequently found that you let them fail, things get worse.

Just in case your stakeholders are super sick of hearing about product.

At this point in my product journey, I’m pretty sure I’ve got more questions than answers. Less about what’s the best framework for blah, blah, blah. More about how do you work effectively with folks who don’t see eye to eye with you.

Great wisdom from Dave Anderson on what should be measured, what’s unreasonable to measure and the types of work you want your technologists to be doing. open.substack.com/pub/scarleti...

One of the biggest recurring challenges I’ve seen lately in companies adopting product mgmt. is lack of alignment. Not just on ideas but on basic definitions. If I say “product” and you say “product” and we can mean totally different things, progress will grind to a halt.

This is great. If every burnt out employee did this, there would be a shocking number of new union members on tech.

Nearly 300 primary care physicians employed by Mass General Brigham have notified federal authorities that they want to join a union, citing “burnout” and the “corporatization of medicine” at the state’s largest health system.
