When your eval scores start going up, that's when you know you have a product.

Everything before that is a demo.

[Hiring signal by ProdSchool @HiringSignals]

Writing evals is a core PM skill now.

If you're shipping AI features and you can't tell me whether your model got better or worse this week, we have a problem.

[Hiring signal by ProdSchool @HiringSignals]

An eval is just a unit test for your model. A quiz.
"Given this input, did you get the right answer?"
You don't write one generic eval. You write one per use case, one per thing your product actually needs to do well.

Some things just are more subjective than objective.

It is better to be direct with your team about how you see a thing – how many parts objective, how many parts subjective – than to waste time casting a veil of complete objectivity over something that is inherently subjective.

[Mustafa Khundmiri @mkhundmiri]

Startup advice that works if you make it work:

1. Solve a problem that many, many people have.

2. Bootstrap as long as you can.

3. Get good at making money, not spending.

4. Do things that don't scale until you can scale.

5. Build solid relationships to build a solid team.

Tip: Use timeframes

Real numbers are more compelling than generalizations like "fast" or "quickly."

Be specific and use direct timeframes to convey more value.

Example:

@alexbunardzic @allenholub So the premise in my opinion is simple Alex -> Give people freedom and independence. Autonomy is the simplest tool to get maximum value out of the employees. A manager can help guide you onto the biggest challenge - THE WHAT. HOW is the employee's job.

Nobody wants to use a product. But everyone wants to solve a problem that they face. #prodschool #productmanagement

Good Product Strategy, Bad Product Strategy

A thread:

[Mustafa Khundmiri @mkhundmiri]

An advice about dropping out from a college dropout 👇

Don't do it.

Ignore the FOMO. Just get done with college.

The average startup founder is 45 years old. You have a lot of time to work on your ideas.

Also, not every dropout makes it big. Have a degree to fall back on.

Decision drift is when you decide something, but then your commitment drifts. Your team feels they are going back to the drawing board often. How are we supposed to fix decision drift? "Decide and commit! Identify the directly responsible individual!"
