Execution of an idea is not the only function of a PM. There is product development, customer feedback, outreach, go to market, customer success. I don't see how AI is wholesale replacing customer outreach & go to market but I could be wrong.

I can't believe they wrote a sentence that contradicts it's own claim.

Agreed. Transportation is a public service and economic engine. Subsidizing travel to help supply travel to demand is the easiest and likely most affordable thing we can do to ensure economic volume.

This reminds me of a similar article that might have been posted on here about tech now focusing on hype as the product.

https://rys.io/en/180.html#hype-is-the-product

> In fact, increasingly, hype is the only thing that counts, as larger and larger chunk of investment money is chasing it – to the detriment of everything else that happens not to bolt the hyped tech onto its unrelated but otherwise solid product or service.

> The bubble grows. The line goes up.

> Because the hype is the product.

Ok. So for Musk I would like to cap the money borrowed against his stock portfolio to also be $1.

Ultra processed foods (UPF) needs a hard look IMO. It's the leading cause of many diseases stated in the article and several others including cancer and dementia.

In the software world I call this an end user discovered issue. But when the issue involves a plane that is carrying actual souls. That can feel very scary.

I am sure this has been resolved by now since its from 2020.

That's not a thing when considering how UPF creates addiction to food in the brain. Big Food knows this.

I could suppose it's some of all of this. But my money is on UPF. The author of Ultra Processed People has an identical twin in NJ while he lives in the UK and their weights are vastly different.

One aspect is that the US food system as a crap ton of UPF.

"how would you make StoreJogger?"

That is a systems design question and would have been reserved for Senior/Staff+ level hires. I have learned there is a whole delivery framework for providing that answer and I would not ask that of entry-level engineering. Assuming it was entry level.

Southwest Airlines (SW) has still not made an investment in their scheduling and operations software and infrastructure. They will have more operational failures in the future if say a huge store system forces to many flights to be rescheduled. For something so critical to business continuity I find it astounding how little SW has done in that regard. SW also has lobbied alot to derail high speed rail in Texas. Although I am sure all airlines have done that to some degree.

I just made the same comment. The expansion of the season now allows for that.
