Много съжалявам :( Не знам и няма и какво да кажа. Иска ми се всичко това да е грешка и да не се случва...и същевременно знам, че животът е гаден към най-добрите.

В този не говорихме много, но се надявам на повече в следващия.

Sounds exciting!

Not sure how something like that would be relevant - every product is unique. If we had 2 products like for like, then they would be competitors and aim at releasing different features appealing to their user base.

Не знам дали е по-добре да ми мирише на въглища или на пица.

Май няма да проветрявам.

Уел, и за колите все още го има това с голямото reliability - Toyota/Lexus продължава да прави коли, чиито живот е много години и км с малко нужни интервенции.

За обувки и аз го направих последните години с 2 чифта, защото са по-красиви, от по-хубава кожа и по-удобни. За мен си заслужава.

Стига цената им да не е 10х - да.

Например автомобил: почти всеки път бих предпочел top reliability пред top performance, след като първото излиза 30-40% по-евтино. Но същевременно излиза 30-40% по-скъпо от масовите марки и модели.

Винаги има дребни детайли.

When There's Too Much to Build and Not Enough Engineers Ever looked at your roadmap and throught, "Even if we cloned the entire team, we'd still be behind"? Every PM hits that point. Too much to build, not enough engineers, and the clock is ticking!

As PMs, we sometimes forget that saying “no” is part of the job — not because we want to block progress, but because we want to protect it.

But when you say “no” with context and care — “here’s why we can’t take this on right now” — it earns you trust, not friction.

the stars of the constellation corona borealis are annotated in green. a faint smudge, perhaps comet 3I/Atlas is marked with a red circle.

I think Perseverance may have spotted interstellar comet 3I/Atlas last night from Mars!

After stacking 20 images from Mastcam-Z, I found a faint smudge of light in the constellation Corona Borealis close to the location where the comet was expected. 🔭

Аз съм здрав вече, но го разбрахме, защото бебето се разболя. За щастие го кара леко засега.

Явно дойде моя ред с ковида.

С парите от тия глоби само Е60 можеш да си купиш така или иначе...

The Myth of the Perfect Roadmap The perfect roadmap doesn’t exist. Stop trying to build one. In reality, roadmaps can be fluid. Imagine the industry suddenly going in a different direction: Why wouldn't you adapt?

Roadmaps are living, sometimes messy, often changing, but they keep everyone aligned on the same goal and moving forward in the right direction.

If you are stuck and focused on perfect deliverables instead of meaningful outcomes, then this post is for you:

The common saying is "why should I teach them, since once they get some experience and then they leave for a higher salary?"

Lots of companies are too busy "growing" and "scaling" because of the AI demands, and are ignoring young talent. Everyone prefers hiring seasoned professionals instead of investing a few months or a year in nurturing talent that can repay 100x.

Аа държим се :) Най-якото нещо евър❤️

Също, не знам дали го казвах вече, но 3 месеца с бебето посред лято е нещото, което ще си остане с мен до края.

Substack e социалка като много други, но ми помага да си подредя мислите.

Би било яко, ако набере скорост и мога да го ползвам да си намирам клиенти за консултиране.

Бебето ми липсва най-много като съм в офиса.

The Software Engineer: Every PM's Best Friend Do you remember the guys from your team who are making your dreams a reality?

Unpopular opinion: PMs don't succeed on their own. They succeed when engineers trust them.

Ее, лесно - приспивам детето и стават нещата 😃

Grow your PM skills using AI It's very easy to talk about your strong sides as a professional, but have you tried to evaluate where you lack? If you did, then did you do anything to gain that missing knowledge or experience?

During my 3 months of paternity, I could find time for learning on topics I found I had blind spots:
- UX
- Trust & Safety
- AI, prompting, vibe coding, and a few more related things

In the post below, I'm diving a bit deeper on how I did it. Enjoy!

What to look for before accepting a Product Manager position No, not the salary, although that is also important. In this post we'll talk about the little things that can make or brake your experience with your next employer. Let's dive in!

5 easy steps to get yourself promoted at work When we have in our mind the idea of a career promotion, we often state "I want to become XXX", but really have no idea how to get there. Here is a short guide to do just that!

As promised, my Substack blog would not be about #product management only, but I'll write some content about #leadership and #career as well. So, let's talk about our careers.

In this post, I'm expanding on a 5-step process to achieve that based on my experience.

Apparently, if you show up shirtless at the hotel bar, the bartender doesn't recognize you. Not until he sees your surname and wristwatch and starts talking about watches😃❤️

Hey, @dieworkwear.bsky.social, can we have a reedition of this post? dieworkwear.com/2016/12/07/r...

Most of the brands listed here so not exist anymore :( I'm looking for something specific as a bag, but can't find anything of quality and style that makes sense...

Substack is an interesting whirlwind.

Building products using AI. Part 2 In the first part of this series, we talked about how AI is not (yet) perfect for pushing a software product from 0 to 1 w/o coding experience. Now, let's talk about what it is actually good at.

In part one of the series we talked about my experience building products using #AI, how it went and dis I actually succeed in my project.

Now, let's talk about what the #product I have built is actually good for:

Being on a 3-month paternity leave turned out to be great! Apart from spending so much quality time with oir daughter, there was also something unexpected - I had no time at all to read local news. Now I'm mostly clueless as to what is going on in our city, country, and it's somewhat great.

Oh, this is truly wild. The crazier thing is that such companies somehow continue to grow in business and people.

I can't see myself trust such leadership.
