The older I get the more I realize that you should only optimize for money and status to a certain degree before moving on to optimize for having more time to do what you want.

Goodhart's law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure". 7/8

A periodic reminder that the vast majority of metrics are our destruction, not our salvation. Let's start with Deming:

“You can only measure three percent of what matters” (Deming, quoted by Peter Senge) 1/8

Probably the most astounding interview I've seen in a while.

"You didn't answer his important question... Who is advising the president on shockingly naive price theory over a gallon of gas?"

"Is this just central planning now? Where is this White House going?"

Beyond a certain level in your career, there is no permanent solution to a lack of time. The best way to cope with this new reality is to be extremely clear on the 1-2 things you must focus on doing really well in a given day, given week, given month (and actually get them done).

Two vital habits for product insight:

1) Observe other products keenly

2) Use your own product regularly

Most people don’t do either. Few do both.

Most of UX isn't about opening up Figma.

It's about the discovery you do to understand the problem. It's about data analysis, user research, and other interviews.

Spend less time in Figma, and more time analyzing the problem. You'll move faster.

E-commerce in the US is in crisis: penetration peaked in Q2 2020 and has been stagnant since at ~16% of retail spend. Where will it go from here? In this thread, I’ll break down the bull/bear arguments, discuss a potential POV and share a link to the model used to derive it 🧵:

the artist token thing is dope but anyone who did it after me in this current meta owes me a collaboration for a Degen Token airdrop piece 😭 I don’t make the rules

Beyond a certain level of intelligence, temperament is far more important to success than an extra 1% intelligence

Build things other people can't.

It's that simple & it's that hard.

PM power exercise:

Write down every user motivation you address with your product on a sticky note (high-level needs & wants).

Do the same with your product goals (high-level objectives & your motivation as PM).

Look for overlaps, bc those describe the purpose of your product.

Intrigued, I asked him to say more. He replied, “Well, while there are some things that are clearly legal/not legal, in our work, that category is tiny. The vast majority of contentious debates are about assessing & managing risk. My job is to give context & advice on that risk”.

2) Less approver, more advisor

Early in my PM career, one of my Legal partners at Google shared an important view on his role. He said, “Most teams come to me for Legal approval: will you approve this or that? They don’t understand that I am more of an advisor than an approver”.

A historic night at Versailles. After five hours of heated discussions EU leaders said yes to Ukrainian eurointegration. The process started. Now it is up to us and Ukrainians to accomplish it fast. Heroic Ukrainian nation deserves to know that they are welcome in EU.
