@jonathanmendez This will further push things toward server-side tracking that the browser can’t see. The near term benefit to user privacy seems good, but long term we’ll be blind to abuses.

If you thought Apple couldn't eliminate more data / cookies along comes Safari 16.4.
Server set FIRST PARTY cookies now max 7 days (conditions described in original PR below).
This aimed squarely at Google Tag Manager but affects every server-side proxy.
It's War on the web.

@WSJ for 2 years, I’ve been calling your support line because I’m NOT a paper subscriber, yet I’m getting the paper. Every time I’ve called, you’ve ADDED a new sub. This is what I wake up to EVERY DAY (excl. Sunday). Please MAKE IT 🛑

Do you know what Engineers expect from Product Managers?
Here's your go-to list🧵

Committing to a year’s worth of roadmap is like saying “I’m not going to learn anything new that could change my mind” and that’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

@ProductByZach Always my first interview question for PM roles: “What was YOUR path to Product?” (Every one is different and brings a unique history/set of experiences to the profession). Mine: Web Analytics and Data Science 😀

How did you first hear of the world of Product Management?
What age?
For me, it was when I got hired as Prod Ops, Age:28
