Relative to your interests, Tuesday
I have been on vacation for a little while, in Finland for the third time. Finland feels different than the other parts of Europe I have been to. Perhaps it’s because I spent my time there in rural Finland. But it also feels like most of Finland is rural. In that way, it feels a…

short feedback loops always works
Using short feedback loops to experiment and direct software development is always a good idea, especially with AI: What survives from Agile is the feedback logic. Short cycles still matter. Thin vertical slices still matter. Customer or stakeholder review still matters. Working software is still better than progress theater because agents can generate a lot…

How AI change your software development organization
A catch-up with Purnima Padmanabhan, GM of the Tanzu Division at Broadcom, on what her team has actually learned shipping enterprise software with AI for the last year and a half: code generation is the small part, beautiful code is the new uncanny valley, and you cannot solve the agent boundary problem from inside the…

Enterprise AI Slop
People are using AI to generate too much work because they think they know what they’re doing: A growing body of work calls this output-competence decoupling. In any previous era, the quality of a piece of work was a more or less reliable signal of the competence of the person who produced it. A novice…

Some product management maxims.
The job isn’t to ‘prioritize value,’ but to create the conditions where value can move. You don’t reveal value through prediction; you reveal it through flow. 🔗 Everything I Got Wrong About Product (So You Don’t Have To)

How to market the Enterprise of Many Solutions Suite – A Ready to Go Plan for Enterprise Role Playing with Generative AI, Complete with Executive Dinner Meal Options
In tech product management marketing, there are three phases of your “story” and execution: strategy, planning, and doing (“execution”). I think a lot of people mix up these phases, talk too much about strategy, don’t do enough planning, often poorly communicate the plans to staff, and are not “throw it all at the wall” enough…

The Product Model and Agile – Yeah, getting to “agile product management” is tough. The Pivotal Labs people seemed to have figured it out, but marrying up weekly app releases with applying the scientific method to your app’s features (product management) is elusive.

“a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity”
My daughter’s opinion of platform engineering is “cool story, let’s go get that kibbeling.” Relative to your interests Ask HN: What happens to “.io” TLD after UK gives back the Chagos Islands? – Not good. Users engage with only 6% of product features: Product benchmark findings – ”We found that even the best product teams…

Users engage with only 6% of product features: Product benchmark findings – ”We found that even the best product teams are focusing on features that aren’t being used by their end users. While 6.4% of features are driving 80% of clicks, almost 94% of features are untouched and ignored.”

Cycle Time – Time spent figuring out this nuance is time spent not coding and getting your apps out the door and kicking in the product management feedback cycle. Still, good discussion of the nuances of the phrase.

Platform Engineering is just adding Product Management to Ops
I don’t know. I’ve been trying to sort out what platform engineering is for awhile.1 It matters a lot for my job! While I haven’t verified it, it seems like it started as a marketing campaign from Humanitec and then took on a life of its own. Now the likes of Gartner have practice areas…

“Boosting Developer Platform Teams with Product Thinking,” Samantha Coffman, KubeCon EU, March 2024. A lot of good commentary and advice on product managing the platform, some techniques, mindsets, etc. Chief among them: focus on the value/problem you’re solving first, then how you solve it second…also trying to quantify what the problem is so you can…

devPRops – better put PR in your backlog
Better put PR on the backlog Art for no one, by no one. Art whose only audience is the collective pathos. Incredible. [AI culture problems as art] The Gemini thing: the conversation around AI technology is now based on how it can navigate social and cultural issues, less if it “works.” These social and cultural…
