This is the problem of Google's uneven, reckless stewardship of the web: when incentives are somehow both blatant and vague, the winner becomes the company capable of throwing as much crap at the wall so that *something* sticks, and when it does, they only survive as long as Google lets them.

If you raise the compensation bands to be more competitive, but keep existing employees at the same level, you're basically admitting that you're more interested in recruitment than retainment.

Was reading a post about Eric Ries, Lean methodology, failure, and so on. I live in a country where failure isn’t acceptable, it’s not a value, learning from it often feels like a waste of time. It’s quite weird as I’m a PM, you're asked to be brave but you are expected to play it safe. 1/n #PrdMgmt

"Build to learn" is waste. "add this feature to the app so that users can use it" is no better than "write me this article so that people can read it" aka working for exposure.

spavel.medium.com

Stop building features “for exposure”

Without a coherent hypothesis for both user outcomes & business impact, a product team’s outputs are waste rather than value

Sales alignment complete: we finally escaped the solution space! Started with context, needs, objectives and problems, ended with… way too many things to test. 🚀🚀 Of course, we need to provide a timeline for delivery! 😄 But hey, this is lovely progress!!! #ProductManagement #PMLife

I'm still surprised when people with MBAs and years of business experience don't understand that "feature delivered" ≠ ROI. The return is not that a team pushed out code, the return is when customers react to it.

Speed isn't everything in product development. Great teams prioritize solving genuine user problems over rapid feature shipping. Validate assumptions first to avoid technical debt and user confusion. Quality > quick delivery.

How do you balance the shift to outcomes whilst still accommodating the desire to see when will it be done? Check out my guest post for Thrivve Partners on the Now/Next/Later X Feature Monte Carlo roadmap... medium.com/thrivve-part... #agile #productdevelopment #roadmaps #productmanagement

Allowing competitors to dictate product investments can result in misguided decisions, as it assumes competitors have made the right choices in their product development Read @saeedwkhan.bsky.social's article here: swkhan.medium.com/why-trying-t...

It’s infuriating that Apple thinks it’s perfectly okay to change everything in the interface with ever update. Why do my watch buttons constantly change what they do? Why did the flashlight and the remote control swap spots? How the heck do I start an open indoor row. This is insanity.

I’d like to see how it goes. Retail Media and Video are seeing significant growth in the market thanks to “new” players such as Amazon, Netflix, Disney, and others. Can’t wait to see if they’ll come up with a fresh new search ad concept or just throw a banner into the content and call it a day😅

The essential ingredient to building a fluid, interactive user experience on the web is caring most about users who aren't privileged to own fast devices on quick networks. The tech is just a footnote. If frameworks are driving your decisions, you're already in trouble.
