@thecodaguy Does Coda Brain have to be separately authorized / approved at an organization level or can I start using it as individual employees in an org that already uses Coda?

@benln Yes please, would love to see the template. I'm a hardcore Notion power user but need to figure a way out to get my wife into it as well.

My wife and I use Notion religiously to manage our day-to-day life. Here's a screenshot of our set-up. I turned this into a template, let me know if you'd like to see it!

@invictusaroop Uditji is an emotion dude. Imagine having a career so long that you yourself get to sing the remix of your original song.

“You are great at execution, the team loves you, but you need to be more strategic” Hearing this feedback from your direct manager or your skip manager can be very confusing. And for highly capable product people who consistently get things done, this theme of “you need to be more strategic” is extremely common. It is perhaps the most common feedback given to otherwise-competent PMs at some point in their career. -- It starts showing up after you’ve rapidly ascended your company’s career ladder up to Sr. PM or Group PM. And once it starts showing up, it just will not go away. That is, until you fix it. -- But here’s the trouble: it is incredibly confusing to know how to act on this feedback. As a further complication, while many managers / skip levels are happy to deliver this feedback, most of them either do not have the expertise or the time to create more clarity on how the employee should act on this feedback. -- So let’s solve that. First, if you receive the “you need to be more strategic” feedback, it doesn’t automatically mean that you should be looking to take a product strategy course or read a product strategy book. Product strategy and being strategic are not always the same thing. In practice, not all “you need to be more strategic” feedback is the same. -- There are 3 distinct categories of this feedback: 1) More Product Thinking: You need to do more Product Thinking and less Project Thinking (see the image below if you’re curious about the differences between Product Thinking and Project Thinking) 2) New Opportunity Creation: You need to spend more time on creating new opportunities and the next big new business for your org & company (instead of being mainly focused on executing on and optimizing the current cash cow) 3) Actual Product Strategy: You need to clarify the vision and product strategy for your product (and make sure that the right people at the right levels in the right functions understand this vision & strategy, and are aligned to execute on it across the company) -- #1 is usually the case for Sr. PMs / GPMs when they want to get to Director level. #2 is usually the case for Director level folks who need to demonstrate impact above and beyond what would organically happen anyway. #3 is usually the case for GPM / Director / VP level folks who are very good Operators, but haven’t yet found the time or built the skills to clarify a real product vision and strategy and get the broader org aligned towards it. -- So if in the next perf review season you get the “you need to be more strategic” feedback, I suggest you use this framework to get more clarity from your manager on what you actually need to do to respond to their feedback.

@R_o_M @NavinSethi3 We do have a follow on clause on the Pereira deal. 20% follow on. If he does end up doing well and getting sold for what might be his actual market price, we'll at least recover some more.

The best-paid IPL players get $2million a year. But in most sports, players earn about 50% of a league's cash; in the IPL, they only earn 18%. Why IPL players are - based on other sports leagues - underpaid telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2023/0…

Might be an unpopular opinion but not a fan of Dinesh Karthik the commentator. Speaks too fast , speaks too much, and not much analysis. And it doesn't help that his voice lacks the bass that could make him more soothing to hear. #INDvAUS

@TrentBlakely2 @shreyas Also, as a candidate there is a high likelihood you're running multiple recruitment processes. Having been a candidate, I'd rather pick this process over any other. It stops me from obsessing over another problem statement for days and doing that for several companies at once.

@TrentBlakely2 @shreyas Broadly agreed but you can solve for that - You have to design the assignment so that it doesn't feel like an exam. You're not being graded here for covering all the bases or for a technically correct answer. You have to spend the 3 hours articulating your thought process.

Some companies give onerous take-home assignments (>10 hours) for PM interviews, thinking that is fine because candidates “excited about the job” will spend that time, but this filters out people who are serious about their *current* job and these are the people you need to hire.

I know India should have played better cricket but it hurts to think that just two better balls bowled by Afghanistan would have seen us through to the finals. #AsiaCup2022

The 1st episode is an hour long but our subsequent ones will be ~30 minutes. We plan to cover just reflections, thoughts, and reactions on the world of cricket, along with understanding some key elements, and some trivia questions too. Hope you enjoy it. Do share feedback!
