About mattyfo

I'm a Product Manager out of Baltimore. I hang out at our local hackerspace and play with random bits of code in my free time.

    Something doesn't add up with this story and I suspect it's going to come out in the lawsuit. If the doctor REALLY did want to lower testosterone levels in the 16 year old, there's…

    You're so young, enjoy the ride. Cultivate a rich life and identity outside of work. It's hard but what we do doesn't have to be what defines us.

    I think your product managers are doing it all wrong. They should be showing up with "this is the problem we've identified" and asking how the makers can solve it. Product manageme…

    From reading the description if you need this functionality you should move to something else as the functionality you mentioned is out of it's scope.

    As a UX Designer and front-end guy a lot of the appeal is being able to build something functional without a lot of help. You are correct about the taking off part. If any of my id…

    For sure, when you launch the beta let me know and I'll give you my honest feedback. I might even be able to use it on a project but will have to take a look at the product first.
