The job of a Product Manager is incredibly undefined. Are you feeling lost? 😱

Here are my 13 PM Principles to serve as a guiding light. 💫

@petergyang Every time I see this message, I just do it. Waste of my cognitive space.

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@petergyang In general, these harnesses put too much onus onto the user. It’s nice to see the wiring as a power user (for now) but it’s very much against standard design principles.

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@thsottiaux You should have just kept the UI preferences within settings, not at the top level nav. Onboard users for first time experience.

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@petergyang @trq212 Why bother reading the plan?

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@mattpocockuk I would use it

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@signulll I use a bunch of apps and then create CLIs for them and have a cron extract items daily into GitHub repo. Tool agnostic basically

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@petergyang I prefer locally using launchd because then I delegate the crons to various harnesses versus being locked into one. Cleaner and more control

One of my best toddler tips is making custom songs of their animals and things they’re obsessed with using Suno

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@nikunj Humans are inherently lazy. While it obviously wastes more time, it’s easier on the brain to have many of the same and feel busy. It’s madness.

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@thsottiaux 3p model support. If you easily supported 3p models like Claude and Cursor, I would use more Codex. Instead I end up using a lot of tmux in the bg

@joshelman @altcap @vladtenev @jgebbia @abhishekf96 Is your plan to convert it from traditional IRA to Roth at 18? Only thing that seems to make sense in my opinion

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@kunchenguid Love how fast you’re shipping! I’m going to compare this directly to my setup — have a feeling I’ll be going with yours ;)

@keeran @pvncher @yacineMTB I run them on haiku/mini for simple tasks. My orchestrator agent decides what sub agents to spawn and it actually becomes more token efficient

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

Do Trump Account tax benefits suck? Example: put $10k in a standard brokerage account, it grows to $100k by the time your kid turns 18, and they withdraw $40k. That could be taxed at 0% long-term capital gains. In a Trump Account, that same $40k may be taxed as ordinary income.

@hamedinsf What about garage gym?

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@aginaut @kunchenguid Please no ai slop like this. Just stop.

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@kunchenguid @myfirstmate FINALLY, someone who gets it. I’m the same, I try to use vanilla bash too. And I want to be very model agnostic.

I do find that you need to strike a good balance between working with the harness vs homegrown solutions.

[Erik Rogne @erikrogne]

@kunchenguid To clarify, my subagents are hybrid tmux and harness-specific. It depends on the use case for persistence. For adversarial review, tmux, since separate harness. For many cases, direct subagents. I think hybrid wins and the agent decides when to use it.
