Fair. I’m not even sure what they stand for these days. Either way it’s not working

That’s hyperbolic and not representative of reality

It was intentional. Decisions are up to the team members. If everyone ships, then they all have a say. Adding bottlenecks isn’t native to that kind of thinking. Alignment is.

The team members. Probably the designers have the final say.

I’m French and left wing. I utterly hate these clowns. Well-meaning people with good intentions and zero subject matter expertise. This is going to achieve either misery, or nothing.

The Product Manager profession has been made completely redundant in AI powered org. Everybody can look at numbers, plan features, and push for them. All the AI redundancies are focused on eliminating middle management.

There is absolutely no place for PM. I say this as someone who has been in PM leadership and built product orgs several times over the last 20 years.

I don’t think I can properly explain what he meant to me, but I will try.

Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of people around me who could show me what a good person was supposed to be like. So I found those elsewhere. In games and in Star Trek. To me, Jean-Luc Picard was probably the closest thing I had to a proper father figure.

He embodied everything I felt a person should aspire to be. Intelligent, thoughtful, but also compassionate, principled.

He taught me that you could exercise authority without cruelty, resolve conflict without violence, understood that strength wasn’t about dominating others, but about having the wisdom and restraint not to.

He taught me that you could be rational without being cold, that you could lead without humiliating others, and that kindness and competence weren’t opposites.

These weren’t just qualities I simply admired in a fictional character in a silly science fiction show. They were things I tried to build into myself. They were what I had.

I’m having a really hard time with this. I never know how to articulate how this feels, because I grew up with these role models and most of the people I know haven’t and it feels awkward.

You were a positive force. RIP

This is great. Thank you

“The city of lights”, “the city of lovers” meets reality

I see people hyping this on Twitter and I have no idea why. I don’t understand its applications.

That’s quite far away. There are some fake ones that approximate it by doing mods

False information. There are several examples of games that are patched to run on lower firmware.
