Good times.
Lately, I lean towards keeping a vanilla setup until I’m convinced the new thing will last beyond being a fad (and not subsumed by AI lab) or beyond being just for niche use cases.
For example, I still have never used worktrees and I barely use MCPs. But, skills, I love.
But, a common failure mode for those that are new to using LLMs, or use it very infrequently, is that they will try to salvage this conversation and continue it.
What they don’t understand is that this exchange has permanently rotted the context and will rear its head in ugly ways the longer the conversation goes.
“Should I eliminate the target?”
“no”
“Got it! Taking aim and firing now.”
There’s something about seeing it as chat messages that makes it feel more tangible.
I’m glad there was closure to this whole fiasco in the end
“If I say something that someone doesn’t like, then they are justified in killing me.”
And accept it.
Three big reasons being that:
- I want to get all my good ideas out of my head - I want to get all my bad ideas out of my head - It builds people's trust in my character
The internet is already 1-dimensional. So being able to interact with the thoughts of someone adds more dimensions to that person for you. And I want to be more than some pixels on a screen.

Edit:
Patio11 was another inspiration for sure. Dude's writings are legendary.
Definitely top 5.
Hope you all enjoy it.
Personally, I created PM News to learn from the best.
I’m 21 and I love building products. I’ve made a few.[0]
I even started a popular newsletter [1] about making products.
Over time, I noticed that many of my readers wanted career advice to help them along their product career.
So I thought, “why not just create a place with the best product career advice on the web?”
PM News allows me to help those that want to advance in their career.
It also gives me an excuse to have conversations with some of the best product people in the biz like Chris Messina. And Brian Norgard (fingers crossed).
This is designed for people already in their career that want insights to advance further.
Hope you all find it useful :)
Kept comparing myself to much more successful Tech Twitter folks. So, I asked myself, "Why?"
One self-meditation session later, and this Twitter thread was born.
I think I killed my ego with this one.
I hope you all find it helpful too :)
I want to make it easier for others to find these resources.
I broke up these resources based on the different stages of building products: Thinking up ideas, building the product, etc.
I took a lot of inspo from Checklist Design [1] by George Hatzis [2].
So yeah, It's good looking site so I hope you take a look and find it useful.
Also, there's still lots I can add to it. So if you have any recommendations, leave a comment.
I want to save people time everyday. And give you a bit of joy in your inbox :)
Any feedback is appreciated.
I know there are some smarter cookies than me on here.
If you think I missed a tip or that a tip is simply wacky, then let me know in the comments.
Thanks kind sirs and madames :)
They’re looking for new ways to capitalize of the attention they have on the platform.
Does anyone give a fuck that they’re run by the Chinese government though?
For example,
In 2016, they remove headphone jack.
1st Order: Frustrating UX
2nd Order: Airpods are a ~$200B business
Anyone here know of any other good ones?
I tried to be as complete as I could, but I may have missed a good point or two.
So, if you have experience building enterprise apps and have your own additional insights, then I'd love to hear it :)
Although I did a good amount of googling, I'm almost certain that I missed a couple best practices. Anyone else know a few more good ones?
Using these to write an issue for my product newsletter.
Thanks in advance :)
Also, I'd try to make it easy for a person to leave the chat room. Couldn't find an exit. Not good UX
I'm sure you'll improve it along the way. Good stuff :)
