As a product manager, you need to be able to balance all the work against all the work. Maybe you don’t have an ops background, that’s fine – you probably didn’t have a [domain] background when you came to work either. Learn. A lot of the success of a SaaS product is in the balancing of features against stability/scalability work against compliance work… If you want to take the “I’m the CEO of the product” role, then you need to step up and own all of it, otherwise you’re just that product’s Director of Wishful Thinking.

A very developer sentiment there: “learn.” I don’t think most white collar people think like that. They think of themselves as cogs in a process, not process hackers. Which is fine. As Bourdain says in his first book, he doesn’t want his line chefs being inventive, he wants them to cook the dishes the same way every time, and fast, and 50 of them at once. That’s IRL, not the delightful fantasy land us tech people live in where there is no set menu.

Coté Memo #045: Double up to catch up. You have to spend money to make money. When you see this cup empty, just refill it w/o asking. QED

I’ve gone back and forth on whether managers should code and my opinion is: don’t stop coding. Each week that passes where you don’t share the joy, despair, and discovery of software development is a week when you slowly forget what it means to be a software developer. Over time it means you’ll have a harder time talking to engineers because you’ll forget how they think and how they become bored.
Bored People Quit - makes my head hurt to think on it too long.

Next to the food court - speaking of ambiguous instructions
Please note that using a GPS system will not give you the correct location of the Global Entry Office. Unfamiliar with the Orlando International Airport follow these instructions. As you approach Orlando International Airport stay in the lane for “Terminal B", parking is available in the “B” parking garage. Once in the terminal take the elevator or escalator to the departure level (where the ticket counters are located) this would be the 3rd level, proceed to the Center Food Court “B” side.
