Your art would make for fun random postcards.

Where do you store all of these gems? Do you have a giant coffee table book?

Nailed it. Tastes like $$$$$.

That’s why I’m encouraging my daughter to set up a PRIME stand.

Sounds like you should make the call to the esteemed Jon Taffer. He will make it right.

In the good ole days of 2021-22 it was the salary chase. Now it’s 1000 applications hoping you can just get a rejection email to give you hope that the systems technically are working.

We on the internet now know too. And we are judging. 😀

If the prices go up I can’t imagine them getting higher than 10% increase. Seems like just doing a local fix it swap on the glass and upgrading down the road is the best bet to not slice your hand open every day.

So much golf.

The “be sure to follow us on all the social medias for company updates” part of the canned job app rejection emails is weird to me. What’s the conversion rate of those CTAs?

At some companies I’ve worked at they’re written in a way where it sounds like you understand the problems you are going to solve to a C suite but the folks in the code/day to day know there’s zero chance 95% of it gets built ever.

My money is on the dirt man.

I introduced New York pizza to my kid on a surprise 10th birthday trip to NYC this past weekend.

And while you all were pushing the boundaries of AI in my feed all weekend, I was busy pushing the limits of the human body by consuming 35 $1.50 slices.

10/10 would recommend attempting. 🍕

This kind of follow up really makes the random supporting comments to other folks on forums like Reddit or Substack worth it.

That croissant is massive!

The future of software is being written in...COBOL? Although I love a sexy UI and new products from the Valley as much as the next person, we need to talk about that ancient programming language still managing your money. While Silicon Valley obsesses ...

When I was a young child, I dreamt of a life as a COBOL engineer.

The longer I spend in my tech career, the more I can relate to every scene.

We need an Office Space for remote workers.

The no-code revolution for product people. This week, let's give a take on how we can tap in on the latest AI coding tech.

This week, I dipped into the benefits of trying out no code tools as product people.

If you’re making something awesome and aren’t the traditional SE building type, I’d love to hear about it.

I just had DeepSeek tell me how to generate tears for this.

Which AI tools are you all using to track/use all of this great user-centric data you're collecting?

I'm looking to try some new ones out and wondered if anyone has recommendations.

One hasn't lived until they've listened to the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack in 5 languages. And it's still influencing my algorithm 8 years later.

I use and preach kanban as an easy way for people to get more organized. If things are getting real deep, I’ll talk about the concepts of prioritization. But I won’t nerd out to hard most days.

Use technology to streamline user feedback collection. Innovative tools like AI can analyze data trends, helping you understand customer needs more accurately and faster for effective product improvement.

Prioritize features based on both user needs and business goals. Use data to validate user needs, and align them with strategic business objectives. Remember, a product's success is balancing user satisfaction with business profitability.
