I'm back. What did I miss?

Got a new iPhone yesterday and messed up the setup, which wiped all my apps. It’s been 24 hours without Instagram and surprisingly, it hasn’t felt like going cold turkey. Might just leave it like this for a while.

Back at the place where I learned all the things about theatre and movies that I would never use in my professional life

Happy Birthday 🥳

Also, why are we forced to watch ads after paying to see a movie in theaters? Isn’t paying supposed to eliminate ads? I don’t get the logic here.

24 hours later and I’m still processing Emilia Pérez. What a masterpiece.

I need Apple Music to release listener profiles.

Product strategy isn’t about crafting a pretty artifact. It’s about driving alignment across your company.

Gosh and the gratification that comes with knowing how much time you bought all those pms that maintain feature requests that never get build anyway.

😂

Absolutely 👏 Deleting the backlog at my last company was probably the lowest effort and highest impact action I did during my time there.

Saying "I'm proud of you" is such an awkward way of expressing affection. Can we please agree to delete it from our vocabulary and replace it with "I'm so happy for you"?

9:40 AM in Berlin. Today's stranger interactions so far:

Friendly: 4
Randomly unfriendly: 1
Superficially friendly, but frustration bubbling underneath: 1

Not bad for Berlin, I’d say. 😅

I’ve been thinking about putting her love to the test again with some Opera bangers. Open to other ideas, though!

Being authentic on LinkedIn doesn’t seem to get you very far. I'm still searching for a platform that’s more grateful and fun.

My baby daughter fell asleep while I was singing Oasis. Two things are clear:
* She loves me enough to sleep through that.
* Her taste in music is already impeccable.

Interesting take: Is Jaguar trolling us? Whether they are or not, I can’t recall any other time when the brand has generated this much buzz. Or frankly, any buzz.

That’s correct. I challenge how much of it is needed to become a great pm though. What do you think?

The older I get, the more I question the idea of being “proud” of someone else. Should someone else’s pride really be considered a noteworthy achievement?

Theory and intense study are critical for many professions. Product management is not among them.

Around 1400, the word priority entered the English language and stayed singular for 400 years. Just some food for thought as you tackle your to-do list today.

Thanks! Plan B it is. My meme game didn’t pan out.

First post's out. Pressure's off.
