@ptr Also, this wasn't even the only product safety feature that got blocked (no pun intended) in the name of simplicity! It took forever and a day to ship the "people you follow" filter in mentions because of similar fears over complexity/aesthetics of adding a new tab.

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

@ptr lol sorry for leaving you with that shit sandwich (although I'll take a little credit for at least advocating for product safety to be a proper team). The block v2 saga was def the most eventful last 24 hours at any company I've worked at, that's for sure.

I made it to 13 years on this cursed hellsite. I have a feeling this might be the last, so it was a good run while it lasted. #MyTwitterAnniversary

@shreyas Oh and extension to #2, catch up with anyone you would work with again from past companies.

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

@shreyas 1) if employed, look for ways to broaden your skills - take on projects in a different product area, dive into budget/revenue models, etc.

2) even if you're not actively looking, build network, whether through events, PM communities, taking convos from founders/ recruiters etc

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

@mbilotti Even as a baby PM I could tell you were a real one. Maybe we'll get to work together again someday!

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

@mherdeg It's really only a matter of time. Things will keep working fine until they won't, and then there won't be the expertise around to bring things back up.

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

This is absolutely wild. If true, there will be less employees on Monday than when I joined a literal DECADE ago, with <1/2 the current users (not to mention the increased feature/tech debt/complexity over 10 years).

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

Despite the bad times, I remain grateful for my time there, and especially for all of the wonderful, talented, kind Tweeps I met. Whether you left a decade ago or today, I hope you're proud of the work you did, we did, in building this place. I know I am. Take care 💙

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

A quick nostalgia thread since it's only a matter of time before this site fail whales one last time, and no one is there to save it. God knows I'm not going to post this shit on LinkedIn.

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

The ugly: Getting poor performance reviews for "failing to build a relationship" with an EM who was later fired for incompetence & lying about data. Being told the "well had been poisoned" by an exec when trying to switch roles, despite my old & new managers being supportive.

@satanjeev 💙💙💙

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

@Carnage4Life Yeah, that whole thread is a weird (maybe deliberate) conflation of two things: (a) poor communication/rationale from eng on the specific tech debt needs/priorities, and (b) eng "owning" tech debt by default, and only expecting PM to care once eng has sufficiently rationalized

[Tiffany Dohzen @tdohz]

@dijkstracula Yesss come visit the glorious pnw!! Are you still in the great white north

@shreyas @we_amol @arantespp @coda_hq The former leading to the latter
