Before you spend much more time on AI, could you please get copy-and-paste to work? I spend much more time reformatting than I do getting AI to answer my prompts.

Have you ever had that moment when you say, “Gosh, this is exactly my situation.” That's how I felt when reading the book Aligned: Stakeholder Management for Product Leaders by Bruce McCarthy & Melissa Appel www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...

I know everybody is crazy about AI right now, but while you're waiting to find a viable business model, could you please make your applications copy-and-paste without making me spend an hour reformatting?

“You changed the meaning of that word!” No, we didn’t. Language is basically one big game of telephone.

“The product trio is great… until it isn’t.” You’ve probably heard it: product manager, designer, tech lead. But when it’s time to actually plan a release and launch to market—you need a fourth voice. Add Product Growth to the core team to make a Product Quad. youtube.com/shorts/bHQT6...

Good chat with @productnerd.bsky.social and @talkingroadmaps.bsky.social on the roles of product management and product ops. May describes product ops as product management of product management. (Plus a nice shout to me! YAY!) #roadmap #product #process.

Jefferson Smith: Now, doggone it, there's something wrong here! I know there's something wrong! And I'm not gonna vote on that thing until I get some more questions answered.

Jefferson Smith: I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

I’m buying a lot of electronics now. I hope I won’t need to buy anything other than food for the next 3.75 years.

As of early 2025, the U.S. national debt is around $34 trillion. The combined net worth of all U.S. billionaires is roughly $5.5 trillion (give or take)—probably less after Friday's slump. Taking *everything* from the billionaires still doesn't solve the problem.

We call a tariff a protective measure. It does protect; it protects the consumer very well against one thing. It protects the consumer against low prices. . . .  -- Milton Friedman, 1978

Taxes done! After months of using ChatGPT I am somewhat annoyed to use TurboTax. Why can’t I just upload all my tax docs and have “turboAI” just figure it out?

In the pre-internet days of 1987-89, I was SysOp running RBBS on OS/2 with not one but two (!) 9600 baud modems. #nerdalert. Does anyone remember those days? Having flashbacks while watching the BBS Documentary at www.bbsdocumentary.com
