I keep thinking I miss having someone like Steve Jobs in the industry. He had some standards. He cared about quality, coherence, and making great products. He could be ruthless and he had plenty of flaws, but it still felt like he and Apple were trying to make something genuinely great above all else. They had their opinions and you could respect that. They didn't try to force you, but make their case why they think it's good. Now tech feels driven by trend chasing, fear, scale, revenue comparisons, endless games and everyone talks their book. Investors come first, business goals next, and users last if not at all. I wish there would still someone like Steve still around

Making something people love is mostly making something you love and hoping the overlap is real

I am attempting to use Teams so we can work with a customer in a shared channel and it is fucking awful.
One of the worst pieces of software I've ever attempted to use.

One of life's most powerful skills: Knowing when to stop talking and let your work speak. Results are louder than explanations. Outcomes beat intentions. Success doesn't need narration. Let your achievements do the bragging.

The last car we bought was a @Tesla Model Y. Painless purchase process. No salespeople, no showroom, no upsells, no games, no haggling, no pressure. Just a personal choice on my own time, and a simple few-minute process handled entirely via a clear and straightforward app.
The next car we're buying is from another brand. And holy hell, it feels like I'm going back in time. Salespeople, back-and-forth charades, pricing games, "when can you come in?" before the deal is finalized tactics, etc. And I'm still doing it all via email so I don't have to deal with the showroom antics. I've modernized the process as much as I can from my side, and yet it's the same old same old.
They don't even feel like the same thing. In one case I'm buying a car with all the baggage that comes with buying a car. In the other case I'm buying a Tesla with none of the baggage of buying a car.
This experience could make me lament this other brand, but what it really does is make me appreciate and respect the lengths to which Tesla has fully reconfigured the car buying experience. It's become effortless, like buying any other product. As it should be. A car is just another product.
Bravo.

Most PMs use AI wrong.
They give it a task. They get back an answer. They edit it into something usable.
But that's not the bottleneck.
The bottleneck is: what's the right question to ask in the first place?
A 15-minute stakeholder situation needs a specific frame before it needs an answer. A tricky trade-off needs a decision framework before it needs options. A product problem needs a diagnosis before it needs a solution.
AI is good at the second half. PMs are usually bad at the first half.
