Just the sheer morning inspiration I had to read! Love how one can explore anything they wish and the fact that all interests fluidly come together without having to be defined by labels. Proud of you, @abigailhingwen — and thanks for bringing these stories to light, @debliu_ :)

@superamit Really cool to see the traction! As a hobbyist fiction writer, I love seeing how transformative generative AI can be to the genre.

It's a WILD👺 time to be building a generative AI startup. Against my better judgement, I'm going to share numbers we've only shown investors. And some even they haven't seen. 👇

@AASipos Thank you for sharing this. When we realized that three of the most successful women PMs at Facebook did not have a CS degree and all snuck into the function, we started wondering who else was left out.

Did you know that the idea that PMs need a technical background comes from Google? I think you need to understand how the software works, but your primary expertise should be the market and the product. 👇 #prodmgmt #ship30for30

@deakhaus All credit goes to @boztank who taught me this over six years ago. It has saved me many hours since.

"Write what you repeat." Amazing advice from @debliu_ who passed along words of wisdom she got from her mentor years ago. Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to scale connection and insight.

@cynthiawu_ I asked my publisher, and they said it is a normal occurrence. Apparently it is not something that is enforced against.

@shreyas @debliu_ tl;dr what's your post-twitter strategy? Long version: yo Shreyas, I found you (and others like you) via Twitter, the article you shared below is yet another happy instance of curated learnings via timeline. Platform currently feels at risk, so what happens next?

I try to read everything that @debliu_ publishes. That’s why it was such a joy for me to interview Deb for students of my PM Career course. I played several snippets of this chat during the course, and they were a huge hit. Check out the text summary here: debliu.substack.com/p/managing-you…

@rachelkibbe I find it funny when people say that young people are into crafts to get away from technology. We used to do it to get away from boredom.

I was showing my kids how I can free-handcut beautiful letters from blank paper without an outline. One asked, "Why would anyone learn to do this?" I replied, "It was way more boring in the 80s than you can imagine." #mommyschool

I am super clumsy. I have tripped and fallen just walking down a flat, paved street. Someone suggested balance training. Now I fall down just standing in my house on one leg. This is not an improvement.

Our house gets few trick-or-treaters due to our door being hard to locate. I decided to put out a bowl of candy on the driveway on an upside down box. We refilled a couple times, but when I finally came out to clean up, I realized someone stole the box but left the bowl. Hm...

@DLVermeer Thanks for the offer! I bought her a skirt and a jacket which sort of matched. A modern take on the suit...

My 13-year-old asked me to buy her a woman's business suit for her speech tournament. I went online to shop for one, and I realized few places sell them anymore. I had a ton from my consulting days but gave them away when I got into tech.

Danielle (age 11): Can we make meringue cookies? Also Danielle about 20 minutes later after I teach her how to use the hand mixer to mix the egg whites: This is child labor! Parenting is a no-win situation some days. #mommyschool

@debliu_ @DLVermeer Hi Deb! Thank you - would love that. The app won’t let me DM you but I’ll try to connect with you on LinkedIn - is that works?

@heatfri I can bring you a pound or two next time I see you at the office. It is delish!

I ran out of popcorn kernels again. Amazon says the last time I bought 6 lbs was early Sept, so that means I eat about a pound a week. Now I am contemplating buying a 25lb bag... Yay or nay? Decisions, decisions.

Jetlag is sneaky. Just when you think you are over it, it sneaks up behind you, taps you on the shoulder and whispers, "You thought I was gone, didn't you?"

@marioeibl That is so great! I grew up in a small town with no transport outside of cars (not even bikes were safe for much of the area), and when I went to major foreign cities, I was always amazed that there were so many transportation options.

No one warns you at your baby shower that you will spend the next 16 years driving this little human around town, only punctuated by sitting in parking lots waiting on them for what seems like hours. No reason I am writing this. None at all.
