You can really see Elon Musk’s approach to product with how he’s releasing new features in Twitter.

It looks like a fork of agile, but instead of sprints there’s lots and lots of cocaine.

Reality: The Product Team was so indecisive they couldn’t make basic decisions.

Journalist: They were so obsessed with the customer they would spend weeks discussing every minor detail of the user experience.

A developer on my team makes tiktoks about work. They have a Project Manager character in them, even though we only have Product Managers.

I asked, why not Product Managers?

They said "No one knows what a Product Manager is, and I don't care about you enough to explain it"

Breaking Bad is the best explanation of how important Product is to an organisation

@polak_jasper I can answer that Alex, ‘what is the difference between a Product and a Project Manager’

[Product Manager Chicken @ChickenProduct]

Yes, but we use Canva now because if it looks pretty no one cares that there’s no actual information in it.

Underrated PM skill; taking the random shit engineers want to build and packaging it up so it looks like a ‘cohesive strategy’ and ‘informed by user research’

CEO: “hey I watched the recording of that meeting you had yesterday, you raised some interesting points”

@scottbelsky @darkpatterns Is this for real? Adobe’s terrible terms has been a defining part of the product experience for years. The line ‘Adobe has hostages not customers’ is very common in tech. And you’re talking about it like it’s a detail you missed?

The most underrated PM skill is to be able to look straight into the chaos, noise and doubt of tech. Where the smartest people in the world scream out with a cacophony of innovative ideas that mixes with terrible imposter syndrome.

Waze is great if you want to get there in half the time but also to see what getting directions from a coke addict is like.

PM: we work in cross disciplinary teams not just so we share our skills, but also so we can challenge and support each other.

Engineer: we work in teams because if I let that fu@&ing PM out of my sight for 10 minutes they prioritise stories to take payment in Floki Inu

It took me 2 years to get 500 followers. Now I’ve gone from 500 to 1500 followers in 3 months.

You know how I did this? Because I have no idea and it’s now embarrassing how much better this account is doing than the product I’m paid to manage.

CEO: I think our product will be a lot better if we integrate NFTs

It’s a truly strange feeling when users start to like your product more…. but only because the competing products are getting worse.

[Product Manager Chicken @ChickenProduct]

This is…. sadly very true and insightful.
