@dieworkwear Just told my 13 year old about this as the reason why I don’t think you can call this fight ahead of time

Every mother -- working, traveling, at home -- will tell you that they could not have gotten through the years of raising young kids without the many hands of help from childless girlfriends and menopausal elders. Most of us just call it reality and don't obsess about it.

As Ive said, home insurance crisis in many states could be “black swan” type event that brings down huge parts of the economy.

Not inconceivable that soon all-cash buyers could be the only ones able to buy homes in Florida, California, Texas and other high insurance cost states bc they aren’t required to have it if no mortgage.

Worthy of larger story. I’ve been poking around trying to figure it out.

So proud of the entire team at Bindable but especially of the agency team too many to call out by name

@BillAckman @melindagates @PershingSqFdn It is an absurd statement that Melinda married into resources when those resources increased dramatically over the course of her decades long marriage, acting as an equal partner to her husband to raise the family I presume he values, maybe even more than the money.

@mattvears I’d like to be kept in the loop on this 😉

Since time immemorial, when a CEO asks a PM at Product Review, “what do you need to 10X users/revenue?”, “what will make you go faster?”, etc

The PM steadfastly responds “We need [N] more engineers”. The Eng Mgr nods approvingly

A story thread, with some hard truths to swallow:

[Hiten Shah @hnshah]

People who have experienced product/market fit more than once seem to appreciate all the attempts at trying to explain or quantify it.

But they also realize that there is no specific strategy or methodology that gets you there every time.

It’s heavily context dependent.

Insurance may be *the* under-reported inflation story of all.

What we've heard:

Cars: more wrecks, more expensive repairs (all that fancy technology is costly .. small fender benders can cost thousands. EVs are being written off after mid level wrecks)

Home: larger claims due to bigger, more expensive homes and climate related disasters as we keep building more and more in risky areas (hurriances, floods, wildfires, etc)

@ClaireMcguiggan You sound defensive. Why do transgender people bother you so much?

Hamas used rape as a weapon of war. They intentionally raped and murdered Israeli women on Oct. 7th. The refusal of some to acknowledge this completely undermines the cause of Palestinian liberation. Hamas is not synonymous with Palestinians. Stop rationalizing their brutality.

something i miss about college life is that you didn't have to schedule things to socialize. you'd just go someone's dorm or a party. and when you had your fill, you'd just go home. now you have to schedule things 2 wks in advance and pray you still feel like socializing then

[Risa Pecoraro @risapecoraro]

Interesting take

I built this product GPT for three reasons:

1. It’s useful
2. It was fun to make
3. I think the PM role is in for a reckoning

I’ve looked over PM job descriptions for top tier companies, and they all look the same:
- own a defined product area
- define product strategy and roadmap
- analyze qual and quant data for insights
- plan, scope, and prioritize projects
- write specs & user stories
- manage technical tradeoffs
- coordinate XFN stakeholders

A marginally well prompted bot based on a cheap commercial model can do 80% of these things sufficiently well in seconds (tooting my own horn.)

With agents and deeper business workflow integrations, I don’t think we’re far off from chatPRD or some PM agent doing user research, soliciting input from stakeholders, talking to other copilots (figma?), and plugging into data warehouses to tune itself.

In that world: what does a PM actually…do?

I have a few hypotheses:

Maybe product managers become Natural Language Engineers who build real prototypes or even production experience by managing a constellation of tools to design, code, and measure product initiatives. These NLEs sit at some sort of deploy dashboard or product console and focus on release and measurement after building. English becomes a not-so-silly college major again.

Maybe the beloved PM-eng-design triad becomes a pair, instead. Either an engineer or designer takes on scoping product initiatives directly, with a well trained copilot doing all the dirty work of tradeoff discussions and prioritization proposals.

Or alas, maybe PM as GM becomes a legitimate thing, and PM focuses less on users and specs and more on markets and delivery. PMs package, market, sell, drive revenue for products, and play much more of a business role. PMs on a quota? We’ll see. Also a think I think our robot overlords are going to get quite good at.

Either way, if you’re not thinking about this: you should be. I’m not an AI pessimist—I think these technologies will create more opportunity than they destroy, BUT! I think the product manager role more than many are very ripe to be completely reimagined in the next few years.

What would I get good at, knowing this?
- product sense: tune your picker
- design taste: get good at dopamine
- hard technical skills: coding, lo-code

I’d also test you to try to automate as much of your job as you can, so you can really see where your individual core value and strengths shine.

My little CPO on demand is a side project that sits on top of a much deeper point of view on what’s gonna change fast in our little corner of the industry.

PMs, take heed (and start coding!) 😎
