First born children have higher IQ than their siblings.

[George from 🕹prodmgmt.world @nurijanian]

the best product managers ignore 90% of execution tasks that junior PMs obsess over.

no ticket grooming. no standup theater. no backlog babysitting.

took me a few years to learn this brutal truth.

here's the only framework that matters: 🧵👇

Make it exist first, you can make it good later

Major career cheat code: Be the person who can figure it out. You’ll be handed tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work. Ask key questions. Get it done. If you do that, people will fight over you.

[Alexis Ohanian 🗽 @alexisohanian]

YC taught me “Build something people want.”
That’s the floor.

“Build something people can’t live without” is how you build a generational company.

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

Before you worry about scale, investors, or exit strategies, build a simple profitable business that actually pays you.

Junior PM: My feature got deprioritized again. Engineering says they don't have bandwidth.

Senior PM: What did you do next?

Junior PM: Told my manager. It's not my fault engineering is understaffed.

Senior PM: Is that where it ended?

Junior PM: What else can I do? I don't control hiring.

Senior PM: You don't control hiring. What do you control?

Junior PM: …my roadmap?

Senior PM: Keep going.

Junior PM: My relationships with engineers?

Senior PM: Getting warmer.

Junior PM: I could understand why they're overwhelmed?

Senior PM: Now you're thinking. What would you find?

Junior PM: They're drowning in bugs from the last release.

Senior PM: And?

Junior PM: If we fixed those bugs, they'd have bandwidth.

Senior PM: But that's not your job, right?

Junior PM: It's not in my OKRs...

Senior PM: There it is. The cage you built.

Junior PM: What cage?

Senior PM: "Not my job." "Not my fault." "Can't control that."

Junior PM: But those are facts.

Senior PM: They're excuses dressed as facts.

Junior PM: How?

Senior PM: Watch this. What if you owned those bugs?

Junior PM: But I didn't create them.

Senior PM: So?

Junior PM: …I could organize a bug bash?

Senior PM: What else?

Junior PM: Prioritize which bugs actually matter to users?

Senior PM: More.

Junior PM: Write reproduction steps so engineers save time?

Senior PM: Notice what just happened?

Junior PM: I found things I could do.

Senior PM: You went from victim to owner.

Junior PM: But this is extra work.

Senior PM: Is getting your feature built extra?

Junior PM: …no.

Senior PM: Here's what separates good PMs from great ones.

Junior PM: Tell me.

Senior PM: Good PMs manage their features.

Junior PM: And great PMs?

Senior PM: Great PMs manage outcomes. However they can.

Junior PM: Even if it means doing "engineering work"?

Senior PM: There is no "engineering work." There's only "what needs doing."

Junior PM: My manager might not like me spending time on bugs.

Senior PM: Will they like you shipping nothing?

Junior PM: Point taken.

Senior PM: But here's the real mindshift.

Junior PM: What?

Senior PM: Stop asking "whose job is this?"

Junior PM: Ask what instead?

Senior PM: "What would I do if I was CEO?"

Junior PM: CEO's delegate.

Senior PM: No. CEOs ensure things get done.

Junior PM: There's a difference?

Senior PM: Delegation is a method. Ownership is a mindset.

Junior PM: So high agency means doing everyone's job?

Senior PM: High agency means refusing to be blocked.

Junior PM: How do I know if I'm high agency?

Senior PM: Simple test.

Junior PM: Go on.

Senior PM: Count how often you say "they" vs "I" when explaining why something isn't done.

Junior PM: Ouch.

Senior PM: If "they" outnumber "I" - you're making excuses.

Junior PM: But some things really are out of my control.

Senior PM: Name one.

Junior PM: Budget cuts.

Senior PM: What would you do if your kid needed medicine during budget cuts?

Junior PM: I'd find a way...

Senior PM: Exactly.

Junior PM: So it's about caring enough?

Senior PM: It's about owning the outcome. Not the circumstances.

Junior PM: This is exhausting though.

Senior PM: Know what's more exhausting?

Junior PM: What?

Senior PM: Spending your career waiting for perfect conditions.

I have new favourite blogsite

[Mario @eugeniusmario]

@electyrion Just thinking (1 case) when you're busy and on the go (outdoors), you try to check your screen by moving it closer but can't see anything due to this feature 😂 so you move it farther, then the screen catches the glare and you still can't see anything lol

[Mario @eugeniusmario]

I wish I knew about this feature way earlier

Jadi ini set jarak HP, kalau jarak ke muka terlalu dekat <25-30cm, dia bakal munculin pop-up dan perlu jauhin jaraknya lagi biar bisa klik continue

[Mario @eugeniusmario]

@ainunnajib Ini cepet kalau paham logaritma, karena lebih mudah selesainya dibanding pakai bentuk eksponen, balik aja ke bentuk logaritma

Nah funfactnya saya pernah join salah satu brand edukasi yang besar di Indo, mayoritas murid Indo emang takut sama “logaritma”, banyak soal diskip

For x ∈ R≥0​
Normal: f(x) = x
Sandwich: f(x) = sin(x-1)

Kalau orang merintis dari nol, kalau sandwich gen merintis dari -100.

Sebenarnya yang saya suka dari mereka itu deliver product yang simple tapi sering kelewat, atau biasanya kita sebut:

“Low-hanging fruit that no one picks”

Isu charging ini valuable for user, tapi hampir kebayakan company skip dan offer extreme (ugly) innovations

[Mario @eugeniusmario]

Silicon chip, sejak 2020 menurut saya ini yang game changer di market pak, kalau dipikir lagi ini laptop ngecharge cuma 2 jam tapi bisa tahan 2 hari, multi-task aman, jarang panas

Sebagai user, biasa bawa laptop ga perlu nengok bawah meja “ada charge-an nggak ya?”

[Pak Win #GrowWin @AsahPolaPikir]

Apple ini berasanya kok kayak perusahaan stagnan ya? hpnya bagus tapi gitu2 aja dari dulu, bawaan dari inovasi steve jobs.. tiap muncul baru paling kamera aja tambah tajem..

kalau steve jobs masih hidup:
1. Siri pasti uda bisa diajak omong secanggih chatgpt, sekarang Siri masih jelek..
2. Fitur edit fotonya bisa lebih bagus dari samsung? (sekarang remove objek aja masih belecetan)
3. Apple bikin mobil atau robot? ada device baru yg kayak OpenAI mau bikin, tempel telinga buat kendaliin hp..

berasa sekarang ga ada risiko baru signifikan yg diambil apple.. padahal cashnya banyak banget..
