In a meeting.

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

PSA: Wordplay in product naming peaked at Nero Burning ROM. It's all downhill from there.

With respect to CEOs, that's not really a great metric @LinkedIn

Vibe coded a thing in 2 days that makes a $40K/year service obsolete.

Is it perfect? No.
Is it good enough? Absolutely.
Will I ask $39K for it? Tempted.

Started the day with 65 unread e-mails. I powered through them for about an hour. I now have 83 unread e-mails.

Oh, Wow! You mean you use PRs? Let's see now, um, I think I remember. That stands for Pool Request. Right? Or, wait... is it Pull? And you use, what is it... I think it's called goat, or got , or um, something like that. Yeah, and, well, it's nothing like email... I mean, ok, it's still a message transmitted over the internet, and it still _does_ send email, and... but -- I mean -- it's not email at all. no. Not at all.

Younguns. The jokes just go right over their heads. Oh well.

At an AI-focused event and, in true meta fashion, keeping busy by making a slide deck with ChatGPT.

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

Attended a product manager meetup today. Seriously, what is wrong with me?!

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

Had to use SVN today. Felt like bumping into an ex at the grocery store. Weird, awkward, and somehow still knows all your old habits.

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

Love how microservices let the rest of the product stay up when one fails.

Except when the one that fails is the only one I care about.

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

The second episode of Disney’s version of Doctor Who has dinosaurs. Blink and you’ll miss them. Disney knows its audience, but it’s still firmly low budget.

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

I know you aren't supposed to cry over spilled milk, but baby girl accidentally dropped her bottle, and my morning so far has been cleaning milk from literally everywhere 🥳

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

Ah, yes, time for that biweekly ritual where Product tells me what's "definitely in scope" now.

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

Starting Star Wars Outlaws on Star Wars Day. Hope it won't disappoint. May the 4th be with me 🙂

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

May the 4th be with you!

Ὅταν ἐν τῇ δοκιμῇ οὐ καταπίπτῃ, ἀλλ’ ἐν τῇ πράξει φθαρῇ, ὀψέ ἐστιν.

Ὅταν μηδεὶς τὸ νέον δείσῃ, πρόωρόν ἐστιν.

Μεταξὺ δείους καὶ πτώσεως, ἡ ὁδός φανερά.

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

Stunning!

[Yannis Rizos 🐒 @yrizos]

What’s an acceptable percent of a meeting to waste on platitudes? Is there a max in minutes? Asking for a friend. 😐

Σημαντικό: σε αυξανόμενα απολυταρχικό 🌍 η 🇬🇷 θεωρείται πλήρης δημοκρατία με βελτιούμενους (σε σχέση με την κρίση) θεσμούς. Προβληματική η μεγάλη δυσαρέσκεια των πολιτών για τη λειτουργία της δημοκρατίας. Απαιτείται εμφανής ενίσχυση του Κράτους Δικαίου. https://t.co/zVhTUTMM1u
