Roadmapping is massively easier once you define your product vision and strategy.

Twitter revealed its algorithm to the world. But what does it mean for you? I spent the evening analyzing it. Here’s what you need to know:

The same goes for @vercel customers impacted by SVB, we're here for you. [email protected] or DM me if you need anything. xitter.cf/karrisaarinen/status/1…
Also for @linear customers: If your startup’s funds are tied up and have an urgent need to delay payments, just email our [email protected] and we’ll work with you on this. One thing less for you to worry about.

Wouldn't it be cool if you just were two responsible adults who didn't check on each other at all? I have never "checked" my spouses' social media (15 years running), nor do I care. This nanny-state of marriage is odd. Marry people who are mature responsible adults.

The unfortunate reality is that there is an inverse relationship between how long you spend in JIRA and how much product management you are doing.

He was mad @potus got more engagement on a Super Bowl tweet so his cousin declared a 2am emergency. Then, devs put in a hack to boost his shit 1000x lest they lose their jobs. @platformer with another article that reads like Downfall subtitles. platformer.news/p/yes-elon-m…

Company productivity stems from the ICs, people who build the things. They should have the sharpest tools to do their work. Wish more leaders would recognize that and listen to their teams instead of wasting people's time on tools they don't want or tools which won't work

Unpopular opinion: Microsoft integrating ChatGPT faster than Google's Language Model will not change anything in the short term. Habits are hard to change and Google Search is a 20+ years old habit.
