Is anyone else publishing on Beehiiv? Share yours here, and maybe you can dethrone one of these on my Top 4. Here's my newsletter (it's a Picnic because there are no tables ∴ no seats at the table, get it?) If you're in tech or tech-adjacent fields, and frustrated, you might find it interesting.

The Product Picnic
Writing on UX and product management to connect today's discourse with classic insights that the industry forgot.

In January, I started a newsletter. Because I can read, I chose to avoid Substack, and settled on @beehiiv.com. One cool feature on Beehiiv that helps desubstackify the media environment is a site's "top 4" - and I finally found 4 other Beehiiv newsletters I can recommend! The ecosystem is healing.

healthcare is like ten chihuahuas in a trenchcoat but they all gnaw at each other's legs instead of getting anywhere with their disguise, and when you spot them they all look at you like, "what?"

LLM tools are poised to tip that process from vulnerability to defensiveness for both students and designers, through offering false certainty. "Here's a solution, boss. It'll definitely work." And you do not have enough understanding of the problem to see that no it fucking won't work. 6/

I've referred to this lecture before but there's another absolute gem: a student HAS to become vulnerable to learn because you are trying to do something before you know what you are doing, or even when you have done it. But that vulnerability is uncomfortable. This is where AI sneaks in today. 1/

The public sector bureaucracy seems to spawn a private sector bureaucracy to intercede on your behalf. What do you call that? When you wait in waiting rooms for private companies to wait in waiting rooms for you?

so DST is upon us, but, like, where does that hour GO? my theory? that hour gets banked and lent out (with interest) for a term that runs through november, at which point it's returned to us (sans interest). the rich get richer, am I right? even with time
