Agree so much with this! In domains I know well I get much better results then someone who doesn't know the domain because I know where to challenge the LLM. LLMs need to be pushed…

Sorry, didn't see this reply till now. I think a lot of PMs are judged just on shipping software, not necessarily commercial success, or even just production adoption.

Mostly agree and would add that product managers should be responsible for the commercial success of their products. That means spending more time deciding what market to be in, ho…

Two years ago, my then 81-yr old father, who had Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, was recommended to get back surgery to relieve chronic and debilitating pain. The neurosurgeon said…

With both my startups I made some mistakes when naming the company. Sharing 3 lessons so hopefully can save you time.

Ah ok; sorry, didn't realize that.

Immigrants to any country are a unique slice of the population because they chose to migrate for a better life. Hence immigrants in most countries tend to do well economically (som…

Wow, thanks for taking the time to share all this data with such clear points. Much appreciated, especially the personal anecdote to make all this be less academic.

"a pricing model based on seats, a product roadmap built around features rather than outcomes [is outdated]" I disagree with this. On pricing, I get that agents and tokens can scal…

Ha! Same for me: 286 in 9th grade (1990) for about $2k CAD. 286 was a bad call though as I think it was harder to expand compared with 386. I remember 1MB RAM but really only 640k …

This. I feel this all the time. I love 3Blue1Brown's videos and when I watch them I feel like I really get a concept. But I don't retain it as well as I do things I learned in scho…

Ah thank you! Sharing with my nephew who's there right now!

Yeah, much of LinkedIn is performative nonsense. However, with such a large B2B audience there, it offers a sizable opportunity for people who actually publish useful information a…

We built an editor for creating posts on LinkedIn where - to avoid the "all AI output is similar/boring" issue - it operates more like a muse than a writer. i.e. it asks questions,…

So cool. Thanks for posting. I wish I was 1% the engineer this guy is.

Mine was a referral from the VP of sales (the coach was his dad and many of the reps in our team had been coached by him). Fwiw, his name is Rick Roberge. I think he still coaches.…

My coach has a max timeline of 6 months so you are forced to swim on your own. I felt like I had the hang of it after about 4 months so stopped about then. (sorry for delayed reply…

Yes I think possible. 1. sales aptitude assessment tools like Objective Management Group (the one I took) help you identify core weaknesses that are critical to understand and work…

As a co-founder (tech background but haven't coded in a while), I got comfortable with sales best when I hired a sales coach. There are so many things to learn in sales and a coach…

Ah you might be right. But: 1. If they really have so many faulty cars on the road that's a serious hazard and any accidents where people die may end up destroying Volvo entirely b…

Insane that Volvo doesn't just replace the car. The cost is trivial compared to the brand damage here. The complaint is so well documented and the customer is not being a jerk at a…

Agreed. Put another way: because software has low marginal cost and high up-front cost (even higher in very competitive markets) it makes sense to raise venture early to hire a gre…

Oh cool! Thanks so much. (Btw, I didn't mean to suggest that the project should address an unanswered question. Ok to repeat known experiment if it's fun/insightful). The gravitati…

Trying to come up with cool Arduino projects for my 12-yr old that answer some scientific question vs just build something. Thanks.
