A surprising amount of “tech leadership” is just being the adult in the room when everyone wants to work on shit that doesn’t matter.

This past weekend, I completed @shreyas's course on Improving your Product Sense.
I can't start to describe how much I recommend this course for any product leader or product-adjacent leader. https://t.co/KnIW0V74oE

@carlvellotti My favorite is when someone says they have read something, clearly have not, and I get to send them a screengrab of a Google Doc Activity screen that shows they have never opened it.

@nurijanian @ravi_mehta Do you have a version of this where you HAVENT filled in the opacity? I want to give it to people and ask them to circle where they think each role should be focused the most.

[Mark Steffen @marksteffen]

@forssto In that case, I’m always here. In your waking nightmares.

@forssto Guatemala!

@Assurant Will you be returning my call today? It's day 12 since you said you would. I have politely called every other day since, with no reply.

[Mark Steffen @marksteffen]

@carlvellotti Don't forget sales!

Gazans are reporting that Israel began bombing people in their cars & as they fled piled in the back of trucks, along the “safe routes” they were told to take south. These reports are coming from everywhere. Israel told people to flee & then killed them on the way. Horror.

@PatThePM But a big, long German word would be much more fun.

@dylancasey @andruyeung @RMB Highly recommend Fairdales to a bunch of my friends. Good builds for the price, understated, what you need for the city.

P.s. head to King Kog in Williamsburg and they will take good care of you for whatever you want.

@JoeFernandez @benthompson has been talking about them on the podcasts recently, I believe.

Things are devolving. I have moved on to The Postal Service. I am blaming @yasisalek for this. Pray for me.

Turning on Bloc Party's absolutely monster perfect album no notes 2005 smash "Silent Alarm" just to feel something.

@forssto I’ve stopped even trying to read anything there.

The Fall Out Boy version of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” is playing in the grocery store and I am going to burn the whole place down.
