The rampant fearmongering that folks like Lenny and Elena are doing around product management right now is getting in the way of people working out how to actually evolve their roles. Distasteful.

I was driving through semi jungle today in Brazil (this is easily the most ridiculous sentence I’ve ever started a social media post with) and it reminded me of this glorious game I never managed to beat on my Apple //e, The Mask of the Sun. These were *immersive* graphics for me as a kid.
