I recently got asked what an engineer could do to understand our users’ problems and the domain they’re operating in better. The answer to my “They can join me visiting and talking to them from time to time” was “Well, you don’t want the engineers to waste their time with the users” and I still can’t believe this. No second spent with users is wasted. No documentation in the world will ever replace or even get close to a real conversation. The PM is not the proxy between the engineers and the users. Just no.

This is the kind of day I'm having.

[Me to a mate at work]: Lol did you post then delete a chatgpt haiku about psychosocial harm in the workplace regulations to our all-company chat?

Another week, another plant. Reason nr. 1345 why talking to users is great: seeing them doing strange things in the product because if this one bug they never reported as they thought it would be a feature.

Chats over the long weekend with good friends reminded me to try not to slip back into classic thinking. Don't sell yourself short, learnings are equally if not more valuable than other outcomes, and women tend to suffer more of this than men do - not always of course, but certainly a big chunk.
Everyone deserves a personal hype team - I needed mine this weekend!

Hey there product people of Mastodon. What are your hot tips for helping a time-selling business (aka consultancy) transition to a product-selling business? Assume the tech team is solid and funding is secured... this question is more about the wetware of the people involved.

Sometimes people forget how freaking big the world outside is .
Take for eg MSN news , which I am sure many consider a spam site

It still has 550M monthly readers ...

Ofcourse not an exact comparison, but Twitter has about 200ishM mDAU

It's a sustainable business , and I assume profitable.

I get approached quite often for questions around and quite frankly I Love to teach and share( my first part time job was computer science teacher)

We didn't have much to follow when we started, and stumbled our way...i am an accidental

I hope the new ones don't make the same mistake.. rather they make new ones..

So if you want to talk about you can hit me up on substack chat.

Working on a shift to get the and teams working to outcomes. It feels trickier than I thought it should, but we're getting there.

I've been running some explainer workshops which people enjoy, but shifting their actual work behaviours is tricky (which has no small amount of irony).

I wrote up a piece about the Weekly wind down session I hold with my team, as some people found the idea interesting earlier in the week.

The idea is to create a psychologically safe place to vent the week away and hopefully go into the weekend without baggage.

My team really like the session, so it works for us 😃
