I just committed to ride the Pan-Mass Challenge. Click here to support my ride! donate.pmc.org/RB0408 #PMC2022 via @panmass

Because it’s that time of the year 😉 Thanks, @RMBanfield! richardmbanfield.medium.com/how-to-design-… #productmanagement #prodmgmt

Since 2016, I've had conversations with ~5000 design leaders at 200+ dinners and ~100 virtual events, and lots of slack threads. I also helped drive some industry benchmarking reports. I finally synthesized all the notes. A thread on lessons learned about design leadership. 🧵

@meetbryce This is my go to now. Pod coffee machines are tempting but I agree the Bialetti is hard to beat.

@RMBanfield Have you tried a moka pot? (Bialetti on Amazon). It’s stovetop and makes a good coffee that’s almost an espresso. Way better than any pod coffee I’ve had. It’s a cheap experiment too. I think it’s an esp. great solution if you like black coffee. Pro tip: don’t “tamp” the coffee.

Looking for recommendations for a single serve coffee maker with reusable pods. No plastic pods. Preferably with no plastic parts that touch the heated water or coffee either.

@jeffsussna @skeptomai This is what I currently have. Love it. Exploring other options.

@jeffsussna Thanks. I prefer espresso or whatever we call it these days. The pour over just doesn’t do the trick.

@mvolpe @englishpaulm Congratulations Mike.

#LessonsFromLeaders on retaining top talent: actively develop your people. Train your managers to be coaches. Invest in development programs. Regularly ask your team what they want out of work. #RemoteDesignWeek

@joemoriarty On the money.

@OnTheGoMomma23 @JeremyPowers @cyclingtips @Delta Awesome. Thanks.

@RMBanfield @JeremyPowers @cyclingtips @Delta We fly with the Evoc bags on Delta twice a month during BMX season which runs January to November. No questions asked. No fees.

No. More. Bike. Fees. cyclingtips.com/2021/10/united…

@dian_xiao @JeremyPowers @cyclingtips @Delta Depends on the bike box/bag size.

@RMBanfield @JeremyPowers @cyclingtips @Delta Isn't Delta already free?

@marshsutherland @InVisionApp Can’t say yet.

@maggiecrowley @Drift As a personal fan of yours, an avid listener of the podcast, and a grateful guest, this is exciting news. Congratulations on an epic run. Whoever gets you next is going to be very lucky.

Some personal news! Today is my last day @Drift 🦄 Back when I interviewed I told the team what I wanted to do after this role & they promised Drift would teach me what I needed to know. I am so lucky that that was beyond right 💙
