I want to rant on ProdOps / POM and infra platform product management. Who’s having interesting discussions at either intersection these days?

Friction is a product feature, it's just not always aligned to the user need. Here's my quick reflection on when and where these tactics are used and why I'm committed to never "sludging" a user. mbbroberg.fun/articles/fri...

The framing of agents-as-people makes me uneasy; it blurs where responsibility actually sits. But that instinct can’t become a reason to miss something genuinely transformative. So here’s my next frontier. mbbroberg.fun/garden/explo...

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting. More accurate terms: - observers - witnesses - volunteers - neighbors - residents - people

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

Yes! Which begs the question of how we get better at expanding our imagination. I’ve always loved concepts from D&G: “Gilles Deleuze sought an ontology that did not…‘reduce being to the knowable’. Instead he sought a widening of thought that would allow one ‘to palpate the unknowable’.”
