History is always repeating itself. Just need to figure out what part is about to repeat.

Strategy is choices with constraints under uncertainty with competition. It’s not tactics. It’s not process.

This book (The Mythical Man Month) is an example of why books can be so important and influential even decades later. Written in 1975, in a very different time, about software engineering: some parts are still relevant today. The parts that don’t change that much.

Nonprofit does not mean there is no profit. Do not confuse tax status with operating for a public good.

Used to collect nonprofit mailings to look for innovative approaches. Often reminded that what resonated with me did not always work with others.

The Swiss Army Knife: High convenience but low fidelity. Helpful if you have no tools at all, but never as good as a real screwdriver or scissors or corkscrew or knife. Be careful not to turn your product into a Swiss Army Knife. #Product

Bread has been around since 8000BC. Which means the innovation of pre-sliced bread is a relatively new concept.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP) has to be one of the most overused and misunderstood concepts. Henrik Kniberg’s “skateboard” diagram has more interpretations than a piece of abstract art. #Product #ProductManagement
