Can’t argue with facts 🤣

Ancient Rome buildings

Weekend in Rome! ☀️
Not that bad

Oh! Looks like there are a lot of new faces around here. No idea why 😅
Welcome everyone!
Let me introduce my self:
I’m just a guy interested in product management, memes, cats, sailing and sports
That said, it’s UCL night ⚽️
See you!

Tomorrow is Q1 KickOff for me.
Let’s go with this helpful reminder!

Welcome back and thanks for the article!
Totally agree on “celebrate the journey”, it helps understanding how we achieve our goals.
I’ll follow some tips with my new team next year!
In my opinion shared knowledge is the key, don’t be afraid to ask/discuss about the value we want to add

"Why is common sense so uncommon?"
Great question!

What the hell is a product manager

Totally!

Have a wonderful holiday season!

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.

I think it's a great idea, especially for the users. It's also better and probably more compliant than the "pay or ok" approach that many companies are using in EU.

But I wonder how many companies are really able to monetize those data.

Product people! What's your #1 product management prediction for 2025 (bonus points for "why")?

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.

Worth a try!
I’d like to see this culture more widely adopted in companies.
At all levels

In the end:
Is this something unique to my country or is it a common challenge elsewhere? 🌎🌍🌏
Have a nice weekend Folks!

So, I work a lot with MVPs to validate, learn, and improve the product but what I often see is that companies release MVPs as if they’re the final product. Then, when it’s time to improve you end up having to build a new one. 😩

#Failure

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.

Really?

Totally agree.

Cannot stop watching it

When the sales-led founder is asked to pick which big initiative to work on in Q1

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

"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.

Slop Infrastructures 1 & 2 "Maybe the Human Part of Human Connection is Overstated." 💡This week, I'm trying something new. Starting today, and ending on Tuesday, I'll be e-mailing smaller sections of a single piece, Slop Infra...

I found @eryk.bsky.social's deep analysis of Slop Infrastructures & genAI to be especially insightful: "AI slop is the media form that inevitably emerges from a production technology built on symbols stripped of any connection to reality."
