One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.

@JMizgata @TravelingAnna and I just had a team meeting in kumospace!!

[Kat Sheplavy @Fancy_KatShep]

@JMizgata I just got a new Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and I’m obsessed. It’s a smaller SUV - so it wasn’t a terrible transition from my Honda Civic. It handles potholes like a pro, and the gas mileage is amazing!

[Kat Sheplavy @Fancy_KatShep]

@JMizgata Full disclosure, Parallel parking is one of my hidden talents - but the Tucson has a built-in back up camera and it yells at you when you get too close to something. So it makes parallel parking super easy.

I appreciated this timely email explanation from the @guardian about an arrant newsletter send. The place has always excelled at transparency and treating its audience as customers and people, instead of as merely IP and email addresses.

Product Manager is both a creative role & an operations role. Furthermore, the operations work gets much better with creativity & creative work gets better with operations awareness. Embracing this will yield better long-term results than being dogmatic about one particular side.

@_AshleyHoffman How does one get an invite to these fancy cake and hot dog parties?!?

[Sarah (Schmalbach) Beck @schmalie]

The @CalMatters 2022 voting guide frames candidates as applicants and residents as hiring managers and it's another great example of making civic engagement content more accessible and actionable!

@TravelingAnna That Scoopy drawing is on point!!!

@lennysan Notion for task tracking, roadmap organization, specs, notes, calendars, etc. — sometimes google docs for documentation (which then get embedded in notion) Figma / Figjam for brainstorming & prototyping

At @newsproduct #NPASummit22?

You can join @kevglobal @Fancy_KatShep and me on navigating boundary-crossing work. (If you're in product, it's all boundary-crossing work.)

It's likely to be part therapy, part tactical solutioning. Join the discussion on Friday at 2:30ET!
