William Fitzsimmons began working in Harvard admissions more than fifty years ago and has been the dean of admissions and financial aid since 1986.

The federal official who wrote the joke memo, Thomas Hibino, worked at the Boston location of the Office for Civil Rights, eventually serving as the regional director; he retired in 2014.

It was purportedly from an associate director of admissions and parodied the admissions officer downplaying an Asian American applicant’s achievements.

Coinbase has pushed for regulators to write new rules pertaining to cryptocurrency.

WASHINGTON—The Securities and Exchange Commission and Coinbase Global Inc. appear headed for a legal showdown that stands to have outsize consequences for both sides.

The SEC notified Coinbase that it plans to sue the firm for allegedly violating a range of investor-protection laws, the firm said this week.

An eventual SEC lawsuit against the largest U.S. crypto exchange could help determine the future shape of the business of exchanging dollars for digital tokens such as bitcoin, ether or polkadot.

It would also be the SEC’s most significant move yet to rein in an industry that Chair Gary Gensler has descri…

Laying the foundationCreating a concrete model entails first defining concrete resources in a bottom-up approach.

One creates a concrete model by listing the concrete resource (see above for a list of examples) in the system.

Unlike concrete resources, abstract resources do not convey information per-se.

Like concrete resources in the previous section, they can be used to demonstrate higher-level relations and interactions:The benefits of using concrete diagramming modelsThe bottom-up, just-the-facts philosophy of concrete modeling offers important benefits.

I feel like Google’s search result quality has been steadily declining since at least five years, and from what I’m reading both on HN and on other platforms, people feel the same.

Add to that Alphabet’s notorious love for constantly killing products, and I’m wondering how long they will be able to keep this going?

With ChatGPT and other AI tools being introduced, will the need and reliance on classic search engines drop quickly or will it take years?

Where do you see this going?

The Neural Engine — what do we know about it?

The Apple Neural Engine (or ANE) is a type of NPU, which stands for Neural Processing Unit.

The ANE isn't the only NPU out there — many companies besides Apple are developing their own AI accelerator chips.

Besides the Neural Engine, the most famous NPU is Google's TPU (or Tensor Processing Unit).

Unfortunately Apple isn't giving third-party developers any guidance on how to optimize their models to take advantage of the ANE.

So the next one of you to complain that “you can’t trust LLM code” gets a little badge that says “Welcome to engineering motherfucker”.

Here is everything you need to know about the history of LLMs, for our purposes today:The Google Brain team published a paper in 2017 called Attention is All You Need.

Cheating is All You NeedThere are, by my last count, approximately 13 hillion frillion jillion LLM-backed coding assistants out there, as of mid-March.

They will feel gloriously like cheating, just like when IDEs came out, back in the days of yore.

And for a time-constrained developer like me–and I say this as someone who has written over a million lines of production code…Cheating is all you…

eval ()Then we initialize the mathematically equivalent but optimized model, and we restore its parameters using that of the baseline model:from ane_transformers .

trace ( optimized_model , ( tokenized [ "input_ids" ], tokenized [ "attention_mask" ]) )Finally, we use coremltools to generate the Core ML model package file and save it.

Please refer to Figure 2 from our research article for detailed and interactive performance data.

Note that 4 of the 606 operations in the optimized model are executed on the CPU.

Even if the model is generated using an out of spec Mac, the model should work as expected on in-spec devices.

These qualities work quite nicely with the Senior and Staff roles, where the impact I'm having is outside of just the team I'm in.

However, one thing that stuck with me is that Staff Engineers, at least at Deliveroo, are expected to be a domain expert.

However, thinking long-term, I'm not sure if Care is the domain that I want to specialise in.

I think that moving into something more Developer Tools focussed is for me, rather than a more product-aligned part of the business.

I think I'm going to be focussing on strengthening my skills as a Senior while I find the right domain to specialise into, then I'll start looking at progression again.

There is an enormous difference between this HTML document and the sorts of code front-end developers write today.

Front-end vs. other engineering disciplines Some folks online have been suggesting that front-end development is particularly susceptible to AI replacement, and suggesting that developers move up the stack, to focus on back-end or data engineering.

A depressingly-large number of folks in our industry feel like back-end development is harder or more complex than front-end development, that the “real” engineering happens on the server.

The topic: awesome things you should know about that have absolutely zero to do with AIMichal Warda wrote about self-hosting in 2023.

Martin Heinz says he will never use Alpine Linux in his containers again.

Martin’s conclusion: “By using Alpine, you’re getting “free” chaos engineering for you cluster.” OuchOliver Rice at Supabase details how you can create type constraints in Postgres with just 65 lines of SQL.

To illustrate this, he walks you through creating a semver data type to represent Semantic Versioning values.

If that data type could force developers to use SemVer consistently… that’d be something.

Nowadays, Alpine Linux is one of the most popular options for container base images.

By using Alpine, you're getting "free" chaos engineering for you cluster.

Also, Kubernetes docs claim that DNS issues are relevant only for "Alpine version 3.3 or earlier", but I encountered the above issue on Alpine 3.16, so go figure.

The biggest appeal of Alpine is its small size, so if you really care about that, then Wolfi (e.g.

This also relates to its small size, because the small size generally means fewer packages and therefore also fewer vulnerabilities.

I see it’s common for people on HN to have a personal website/blog.

I’m interested in knowing if the creation and maintenance of a personal website have lead to paid full/part time jobs, increased learning, brought new connections to others or are purely vanity.

Hey HN - it's Miguel Ángel introducing Nameverse AI (https://nameverse.app/) - the revolutionary app that generates a meaningful and connotative name for you in any language you wish!

The app harnesses the power of AI with GPT3 to create names that not only sound great but have a deep and significant meaning.

Whether you're starting a new business, launching a new product, or simply looking for a unique name for yourself, Nameverse AI has got you covered.

With Nameverse AI, you can enter your name and select the language you want the name to be generated in.

Start using Nameverse AI today and let us help you find the perfect name that you can be proud of.

Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we can not by conscious action do anything about it.

cli-gpt is a command line tool that uses the power of GPT language model to translate natural language text into executable commands.

With cli-gpt, you can communicate with your computer in plain English and get things done quickly and efficiently without having to memorize complicated commands or syntax.

Code completion engines that use LLMs deploy complex heuristics to determine which code snippets are included in the context.

The completion engine will often collect snippets from recently visited files or relevant classes to provide the language model with relevant information.

They could also introduce more subtle changes to documentation which then biases the code completion engine to introduce subtle vulnerabilities.

ConclusionsEquipping LLMs with retrieval capabilities might allow adversaries to manipulate remote Application-Integrated LLMs via Indirect Prompt Injection.

To run the code-completion demo, you need to use a code completion engine.

For CX expert Jon Picoult, if you’re aspiring to satisfy your customers, you’re aspiring to mediocrity.

To engineer a great customer experience, focus on creating higher peaks, eliminating valleys, and ending every interaction on a high note.

And as you know, delivering a great customer experience requires all those functions to coalesce around the same vision.

Jon: I think customer service is but one component of the customer experience.

I think that’s one of the key differences between customer service and customer experience.

The process of localization involves tailoring your product to fit the needs of a local culture and language.

If that’s not enough to convince you, here are just some of the ways localization can help your business.

Helps to attract talent: Enabling your teammates to navigate the Inbox in their primary language opens your business to talent all over the world.

Offering our products in multiple languages allows support teams to maximize their potential, opportunities – and ultimately, job satisfaction.

Open up your business to the benefits of localization – for both your customers and your support team.

A key thing currently missing from the narrative around AI replacing customer service reps is that customer service teams are under huge pressure almost all of the time.

Customer service challengesWe speak to customer service teams constantly, and something not visible to people outside the industry is that customer service leaders and managers really want to provide a great customer experience.

It is going to be win-win for customer service teams, customers, and businesses.

Three possible developmentsI see this playing out in three ways:Yes, customer service teams will get smaller.

The customer service job will get much more interesting, and rewarding.

Introducing our new AI chatbot: FinToday we’re announcing that we’ve built an AI-powered customer service bot that has the benefits of this new technology, and is suitable for business needs.

Our new AI chatbot works “out of the box”, instantly reducing your support volume and resolution times.

LimitationsAccuracyIt may be possible for end users to intentionally work around the constraints we have designed and make the AI chatbot say inappropriate things.

While Resolution Bot may sometimes deliver an irrelevant answer, our AI bot may sometimes deliver an incorrect answer.

What’s the best customer service experience you’ve ever had?

What’s the one piece of advice you would give to your peers in the customer service industry?

🤩Do you identify more with the title “customer support,” “customer service,” “customer success,” or “customer experience,” and why?

Customer service – I do provide service (and support… but mainly service!)

We’ve brought together industry experts for a conversation on GPT and how it will shape the future of customer service.

The implications of that, I think, are vast across a lot of information and knowledge work, including customer support.

Because I feel like the technology and opportunity are golden for customer service applications like Intercom.

I think AI could impact that equation in the future.

They could be really broad, like cloud computing or the consumerization of healthcare, or narrow, like AI’s impact on customer service.

Imagine a customer service team with high turnover and low tenure across the board.

Create a plan to develop and nurture customer service talentDuring their first few months, we expect all Support teammates to become product experts and customer conversation ninjas, focusing on little else.

It simply pulled these folks in two very demanding directions, so instead we built a focused Customer Service Operations team.

Customer service is the support you provide to your customers (and potential customers) throughout the customer journey.

RetainFor existing customers, customer service is an important part of how you build up customer satisfaction.

Key traits of good customer serviceIt’s clear that when it’s done right, customer service has a significant impact on a business’s bottom line.

In addition to feeling valued and receiving personalized customer service, there are a few other key traits of good service.

In today’s episode of Intercom on Product, Paul Adams, our Chief Product Officer, and I sat down to talk about our new product manifesto for the future of customer service and what it means for us.

I think customer service is undergoing a once-in-a-generation change.

“Implicit in the ‘treat our VIPs with human service’ thing is an assumption that human service is better.

Des: When we talk about proactive support in customer support, it feels quite new and hot, but the world is a museum of proactive support examples.

That’s our customer service manifesto.

Interpersonal alchemy is how I like to think of turning an ordinary team into a high-performing team – one that nurtures connection, belonging, trust, speed, and momentum.

Those of us who want to drive meaningful outcomes forward strive to be part of a high-performing team.

Alchemical elements of high-performing teamsSo what should you look for when evaluating if your team is high-performing?

When I think of high-performing teams with absolute clarity around and dedication to the team mission, I think of the U.S. Navy SEALs.

To help clarify your team’s purpose, run the “Create a Vision” exercise.

And for 29% of employees, workplace conflict is “constant.”Avoiding conflict isn’t about letting people have their way.

Conflict becomes problematic when disagreements are rooted in antagonism, opponents lose sight of their shared goal, or the conflict gets personal.

The 4 types of conflict at workAs the Harvard Business Review’s Guide to Dealing with Conflict puts it: people are complicated.

If that sounds like your drama, you’ve got a status conflict on your hands.

With so much available data, how does your company know what to analyze and measure?

Start with an assessmentSome organizations suffer from data sprawl, with data being collected without a proactive plan or intention.

Without a reporting strategy in place, data overload can prevent companies from moving forward with the right initiatives.

Pulling data together and syncing it, adding context to the data, then presenting data in charts or graphs can make your life easier.

Once you identify all the places you gather and store data, you’ll have a better idea of where you might have data reporting gaps and other issues.

5-second summary Age is often overlooked as an element of diversity, but research suggests teams with generational differences in the workplace are more productive.

I learned more in 20 minutes about generational differences in the workplace than I had in my almost 20-year career.

Despite their vast age differences, they worked through the challenge as a team and brought out each other’s strengths.

Our histories shape usThere is evidence that mixed-age teams are more productive in the workplace than teams of the same age.

Just like other forms of diversity, when we understand and embrace our generational differences, we can become even better contributors, colleagues, and leaders.

Enter adaptive leadership – a collaborative, responsive way to lead that feels right for our modern age.

But because our working lives are getting more complex, adaptive leadership feels more relevant than ever.

Principles of adaptive leadershipThe adaptive leadership framework dictates we need to adapt to grow, both as individuals and as organizations; the adaptive leader’s role is to facilitate that collective process, not make authoritative decisions on how it should play out.

That kind of process is never comfortable, and that’s why adaptive leadership can be quite risky, in a sense.

Falling back on those adaptive leadership principles – emotional intelligence, organizational justice, d…

Using a service management tool like Jira Service Management can do wonders in helping you organize your workflow as well as integrate with numerous support channels.

But first, it starts with finding the right omnichannel support for your eCommerce business.

Another thing to consider is the allotted budget for your customer support team.

Phone: As one of the most traditional means of customer support available, having a call center or a dedicated support number is something almost all businesses provide.

How can Jira Service Management help you strike the right customer support balance?

So what, specifically, falls within that micro-level scope of self-advocacy at work?

Like clockwork, companies and creators begin a mad race to make money off the next big thing, burning through ungodly sums of cash in the process.

Unless you’ve been living off the grid for the past year, it’s clear that the next big thing is artificial intelligence (AI).

But how can companies leverage the technology behind GPT — and AI in general — to solve substantive problems and expand their product market fit?

How, then, do you create an AI product people will actually use?

Finding product market fit for AI products requires assessment.

However, in practice this largely fails at creating that accountability loop and sense of self-ownership because Scrum Masters tend to take on the placement of tickets for the engineers.

Sachin says when you remove all project management responsibilities away from the engineer, you remove their level of ownership.

Adding an outside Scrum Master just adds an unnecessary layer to getting things done faster.

If developers don’t understand the why and its critical outcomes, they can’t effectively offer recommendations to the discussion around trade-offs.

If a Scrum Master attempted to do the same thing, the same vigor to impress this person would not carry the same weight as someone with author…

Fractional Executives are having a moment – and for good reason.

On the heels of the pandemic, we’ve seen a number of flexible work arrangements emerge: remote companies, part-time tech, and more freelance consulting than usual.

Many leaders have taken on roles as a fractional executive — though as supply and demand increase for such leaders, so does confusion around what this title means and how these roles work.

In this article, we’ll leverage our own experiences as working fractional leaders alongside conversations with 20+ executives to:By the end, we hope to prepare you to engage in a successful fractional arrangement in the upcoming year.

According to a survey from California Review Management, companies who said their customer focus was “very mature” experienced 2.5X the revenue growth of companies with a “very immature” focus.

But too often, another story emerges: Tech companies lose sight of their customers as the business grows and internal complexity creeps in.

The needs of the customer take a back seat to internal “emergencies” and horse-trading across teams as everyone hustles to meet increasingly ambitious business goals.

Over time, conversations focus increasingly on colleagues, not customers.

And strategic thinking becomes process management, instead of thinking about how to innovate to better address customer need…

Product Managers are ultimately responsible for figuring out what to build and ensuring it is impactful.

For decades, the Product Requirement Doc (PRD) has been the instrument of the trade, the single source of truth for what to build and why.

With the evolution of agile development and the acceleration of software-centric businesses, product teams realized that static documents aren’t the best tool to represent dynamic creative work.

The PRD becomes a process tool to solve a people problem.

Neither view is ideal for modern product teams, whose work resembles any other creative pursuit: requiring enough constraints to get started, but also enough flexibility to enable new approaches or solu…

Start your ROI calculation by determining how important your project is, and what the value of the outcome would be for the business.

Reframe the suggested experiment as a way to increase your confidence in the decision, not a guarantee of absolute certainty.

The way to estimate the impact of big, scary experiments is to break the calculations down into smaller manageable variables.

Bigger bets are more accessible than you realize, once you model the best and worst case scenarios.

By getting into the habit of calculating the expected return from each experiment, you’ll naturally start gravitating away from sweating the small stuff, and make bigger bets you need to kickstart growth.

Creative testing.

With these memetic patterns identified, you now have a map of the territory in which you can operate as a brand.

Copy: Users expect certain memes in a category to orient themselves, and the default should be to give them what they want.

Each idea you generate throughout this process can be consistently tested as concepts, themes, or variants, until you find a winning combination.

We continue testing Themes and then Variants as we find winners.

A good introductory 1:1 is all about exchanging stories that helps us get to know and begin to understand the person we’re meeting.

In a work context, I’m known for showing up with a lot of energy and a desire to do my best.

For example, they know I’m always looking for clear feedback when they think I’m being too impatient.

Subsequently, your manager 1:1 is among the most important meetings in your week because it is the time in the week when you invest in your own development and get unstuck.

The key with these 1:1s is giving your manager all the context you can for them to help you.

I still remember reading Eric Ries’ blog post that first coined the term “Lean Startup” in September 2008.

When I founded my first startup, Anywhere.FM, our team leveraged many of the core principles of the Lean methodology to build a web music player.

While we were working on Anywhere.FM, we came across another small music startup founded by Daniel Ek in Sweden.

While experienced entrepreneurs have largely moved beyond the Lean Startup methodology, first-time founders still use it as their primary playbook.

That’s why I think it's important to bring greater awareness to the many limitations of the Lean Startup.

In our experience, the majority of folks who make it part of the way through activation but later churn haven’t truly been activated.

Free users weren’t activating as effectively into the product, while the paid tier had significantly lower churn.

Tip #3: Focus on the Full Customer Journey or Expect Incremental GainsUltimately, product teams need to reclassify customer churn as a problem that spans the entire customer journey.

In essence, they met the customer needs more effectively and reduced churn in the process.

Wrap UpThese three common myths highlight that churn is not one small thing that can be fixed by a single team.

Depending on your niche, industry, or company size, an engineering manager could be put in charge of a lot of different initiatives and teams.

Some days you may be stuck in cross-functional meetings with other departments, flexing your soft skills.

Engineering managers, or EMs, drive the most impact by harnessing the power of an engineering team.

But it seems that many companies hear the word “engineering” but forget about the “manager” part — and then they are confused why their new engineering manager can’t do both!

So let’s break down what an engineering manager really looks like in 2022 and beyond.

This rarely works, even if it might produce quick results in the form of features being shipped.

The key is to invest the time to get alignment before setting up teams.

Transfering Decision AuthorityIn order for Dream Teams to have the autonomy they need, the Informed Captain needs to have full decision-making authority.

Embracing Learning as an OutcomeAcross his career, Tom has seen new leaders over-index on short-term results to define their success.

Now It’s Your TurnThe secret to building highly aligned, loosely coupled teams is to let customer obsession drive the decisions.

In reality, most work situations are interpersonal, nuanced, and require managers to toggle between these different modes nimbly.

Managers will struggle to scale themselves if they aren’t spending enough time helping their reports to develop.

Developing coaching skills — which are inherently relational and cannot be practiced alone — requires intentionally reconstituting these priorities.

If we asked a hundred marketers to define growth marketing, we would likely get a hundred different answers.

And all of them might be correct.

Over the last two decades, growth marketing has continued to grow in popularity even though most executives and many marketers continue to maintain a fuzzy — at best — grasp of the concept.

The vagueness of this domain has turned it into an overused buzzword.

And it doesn’t help that the nature of growth marketing work continues to change as marketing tools and tactics evolve.

In this ProductTank Oslo talk, Marty Cagan, founder and partner at Silicon Valley Product Group shares his thoughts on common transformation pitfalls.

While the odds are stacked against companies embarking on transformation drives, you can easily flip them by preventing common pitfalls.

Product leader Sharon Feldstein talks about building nice-to-have products and features as our main product offering – why we need to avoid it, especially in times of financial uncertainty.

It’s really important to remember that in the case of value, having many nice-to-have features do not equal one must-have feature.

Why do many nice-to-have features are not enough?

Let’s talk about building nice-to-have features as our main product, and why I think we should avoid it:The most important reason is that your hold in the client’s organization (for B2B products) or on the user itself (for B2C products) is just not strong enough – when departments are asked to cut their budget, it’s those kind…

Product managers today play an important role in determining the pricing strategy of their products.

Big organisations, for example, tend to have product teams that focus on product growth and pricing packages.

Due to the rise in this model, product managers play an important role in ensuring that product features perform well.

We as product managers are naturally suited to build products with a usage-based pricing model as we want people to invest in our product and use it more.

You just have to accept that, and get feedback on your first pricing model, then iterate going forward,” Nichole says.

This week’s Sunday Rewind takes us to a ProductTank Lagos presentation from Martin Eriksson on his Decision Stack framework.

Product managers who work at startups have a golden opportunity to make failure a central part of their methods.

A product manager’s primary responsibility is to manage and reduce risk to give a value hypothesis to work with the product.

And this must be accepted and owned by founders and backers, especially in very early firms that sometimes don’t have product managers.

Product managers guide each phase of a product’s lifespan, from research to pricing and marketing positioning, by placing the customer and the product first.

Based on his personal experience as a product manager for 6 years and work done at Deloitte Consulting and Cisco Webex, Senior Product Manager Varun Kulkarni explains how to deal with ambiguity as a product manager.

As you can see, fundamentally, successful stakeholder management comes down to clear and transparent communication.

Tech layoffs and economic uncertainty have heavily impacted the livelihoods of product managers across the globe.

We thought it would be timely to look back to when Rachel Hamlin explored how best practices in product often turn into pitfalls in our culture of burnout for this Sunday Rewind.

Christina Maslach, the pre-eminent researcher on burnout and professor emerita at the University of California, Berkeley, has identified six factors in total that cause burnout.

If it’s above a 0, you’re in good company, and importantly: you’re not a bad product manager.

I’ve noticed an interesting connection recently – between the development of the product industry to support the huge growth in product management roles and the impact that this industry has on product managers.

By product industry I mean the methodologies, the “science of product” that has developed to support people working as product managers.

How did the ProductTech industry develop?

There are over 200,000 product management jobs currently open on LinkedIn, according to Product School’s The Future of Product Management report.

and examine the positives from the rise of ProductTech and growth of the product industry.

In this guest post, Poornima Mohandas, Product Marketing Consultant, discusses why product launches often fail, and what we can do to tackle this situation.

Ever so often companies launch products but the launch doesn’t quite pan out the way leadership had envisioned it.

Many times the botched product launch becomes a blame game.

Over the last decade of being a product marketer, I’ve been responsible for many product launches in the B2B tech space.

While most product launches default to a revenue metric, is that always fair or reasonable especially when the product is yet to prove product market fit?

To help product managers better understand analytics, we worked with our friends at Pendo to create another insightful online course; the Product Analytics Certification Course.

The 3-hour self-paced course teaches the foundations of product analytics strategy and how to foster a data-driven product organization and company.

Our small team where I work as a senior software engineer has a new engineering manager.

They don’t trust me at all and verify simple technical things like how git rebase works, in the middle of meeting calls.

Calling me on slack (slack huddle) without prior notice breaks me out of my flow.

Recently they called an “Architecture meeting” and ended up talking about 2 spaces vs 4 spaces and other trivial stuff.

How do I politely tell them, in a professional way, that they have to back down and trust the team?

Although I am really interested in the job, I feel like it is a defeat not to get a pay raise when I’m changing jobs for the first time in my career.

I said I expected to get a pay raise for changing jobs, but it seems that they can only offer me as much as I already have.

Hi Dave & Jamison,we recently started a new project with a new team of devs that never worked together before.

The team consists of two experienced backend devs, two junior backend devs and a couple of frontend devs.

I love the company, i love the team, i love the project, i even like this dev on a personal level.

I have around 14 years of experience and was recently promoted to a Head of Engineering role.

I am now leading an engineering department of around 75 people.

I’ve become increasingly ‘hands off’ with coding, and it’s been at least 2-3 years since I wrote code regularly.

Do you think it’s realistic to get back to a hands on engineer role at this point?

Does walking away from this leadership role make it harder to potentially take on other leadership roles like CTO in the future?

I’m a senior front end engineer at a medium sized tech company.

During the good times of limitless tech growth, a common way for engineers to grow our “impact” (an important criteria at many companies for promotion) was to find ways to lead/manage more people, whether this was becoming a manager and having more direct reports, or becoming a tech lead and mentoring more people, especially interns and junior engineers.

Now, with many companies doing layoffs and hiring freezes (mine included), teams simply aren’t growing and there just aren’t as many people to “impact”.

What are some other ways to have more “impact” and grow my leadership skills?

Both for hitting promotion criteria, but also f…

Do you feel like a manager can also be a team lead from a technical perspective on a day to day basis?

We have one junior, one mid (me), one senior and our team lead.

However, sometimes the senior and team lead sort of talk down at the junior.

The junior has started to stay quiet and has told me he doesn’t feel comfortable asking the seniors for help.

I’ve interjected in meetings to say I understand why the junior might have this idea but I don’t think it’s the best solution.

Hello Dave and Jamison, thanks for your great work.

I have been feeling anxiety over losing my job to AI, especially after the all the ChatGPT stuff from a few months back.

I know that it definitely isn’t flawless but I know that this technology will just keep improving as time goes on.

I can’t help but feeling like I will lose this amazing career in the near future.

PS: If someone tries to replace your podcast with an AI generated one I will boycott them and stick with you.

I am doing my second internship at a major technology company this summer (Microsoft).

My biggest concern is having my offer rescinded.

I thought there might be economic turbulence, so last summer I had my return offer place me in the most profitable and highest growth division of the company.

How do lay-off decisions get made on the issue of rescinding offers versus laying off people?

I think it would be great for the team and the company to substitute this engineer for someone with more passion.

How do I handle periods of time where I am just not productive as I used to be?

I’m talking about periods of several weeks.

For example, when your kids are ill all the time (daycare fun) or you are down because of XYZ.

How do you turn not really constructive feedback into useful feedback?

I don’t think its personal as I’ve seen this kind of comments on other people’s PRs too.

On several screen shares, I’ve seen them quickly close IDEs with third party code, browser windows with what look like a third party jira instance, etc.

Maybe that’s some open source project, or a jira instance where they’re reporting a bug, but it seems fishy.

I did some digging and this is definitely not a public-facing Jira instance.

Normally if somebody could do both jobs competently, I’d say good for them and they’ve earned both salaries.

Should I raise my concerns with management or give it more time to shake out?

‌I started my journey as an engineering manager at a startup.

Overall I received good feedback from the engineers but the founders didn’t recognize the value of this role and I felt that I wasn’t getting the required mentorship there to grow further.

It’s been challenging to find another manager role.

I get good feedback from the interviews but haven’t received an offer yet.

I still am a good backend engineer but that is not what I want to keep pursuing.

My team has recently hired a new principal engineer, and I’m wondering how I can help the principal engineer.

There is, as always, some organization-specific context that I am familiar with, and the principal engineer is not.

Are there general tips on how to provide help for someone who has much more experience than I do?

His manager J used to be my manager.

Do I go to my manager with ways that I would prefer our 1x1s go and how I personally like to get feedback?

I am a junior software developer who has been working at a startup 9 months ago.

This made sense at the time because I would not have to worry about commuting to the office.

3 months ago my manager suggested that I come to the office more often as this would benefit my development and give a me a chance to socialise with my co-workers.

Now the past few weeks there has been pressure to start coming to the office full time.

My biggest concern now is that 9 months ago If I was offered this job but as full time on site I would not have even considered it.

I’m a mid-level dev who has quit my job (TM) a few times.

While I feel like I’ve absorbed some good experience from each company I’ve been at, I also feel like my training is not yet complete.

At my last company, I hit my ceiling as a dev but I also felt the bar was really low.

I had to do a lot of hand holding and fielded a lot of engineer questions that could have easily been Googled and it was really frustrating.

What are some tips you have to navigate the murky waters of being a mid-level dev wanting to learn as much as possible to become a seasoned dev without giving off an “intern smell”?

I recently started to go back through the original episodes of this podcast where a few episodes were themed were around networking, open source work, and building your personal brand.

I had been with this company for around 4 years, a lot of my work had been doing open source projects and interacting with various other companies.

I immediately reached out to various folks in the open source world that I’ve interacted with, seeing if their companies had any openings.

Building my “personal brand”, interacting with the open source community had turned a pretty stressful situation into one that was relatively a lot less stressful!

Lin talked to Future about the challenges of executing on a company mission to marry machine learning approaches and biological data.

JIMMY LIN: Traditional machine learning data are very broad and shallow.

The type of problems machine learning is often solving are what humans can solve in a nanosecond, such as image recognition.

From the very beginning, Freenome has taken into consideration how to generate the best data suited for machine learning.

Is there one take-home lesson that you have learned in this whole process of marrying biology and machine learning?

However, the trick to taking advantage of them — to becoming a 3-star Michelin restaurant of software — is to think about how to masterfully manage all your software.

If you want to build in America’s cities, you must integrate with their Land Use API.

How to fix cities’ API problemMost people focus on political or legal solutions to America’s broken Land Use APIs.

Founders, armed with the discipline and technological capacity of modern startups, must rediscover this American tradition and build startup cities.

Though software alone won’t fix America’s cities, software can streamline the building process for startup cities.

To fix America’s cities, a new generation of founders must build startups that directly compete with them.

User research is the unsung hero of determining a product’s viability and the secret ingredient to its success.

User research is the process of studying users’ needs, customer journeys, pain points, and processes through questions, surveys, observation, and other methods.

Good user research goes beyond simple feedback, adding structure and process to gathering insights from the right users.

Moderated vs. unmoderatedModerated research requires time and energy to supervise the user, while unmoderated research allows users to provide feedback on their own.

Regardless of stage and size of the research team, the framework to incorporate user research across the product development lifecycle rema…

By acquiring Anchor, Spotify was placing a simultaneous, yet complimentary bet that podcasting would be more like YouTube… but for audio.

While each acquisition took a different approach to podcasts, Spotify had to find a way to measure all podcasts (and thus each acquisition) equally.

Instead, we needed a goal that pushed us to provide real value to creators – value that kept them coming back – not just enabled them to record one episode and quit.

SuperGoal 3: Prove Spotify LTV and the value of millions of podcasts by reaching X MAC by Y date.

In that period, we proved that millions of creators making podcasts on Anchor did drive LTV in a big way.

We explore how these ‘synthetic’ embryos are built and the limits of their similarity to natural embryos grown from fertilized eggs.

Broadly, what are some of the things we might want to do with synthetic embryo models?

I wish to stress though that right now we are talking about synthetic mouse embryo models.

So where are we with human synthetic embryo models or even culturing in vitro human embryos?

First off, human stem cells and mouse stem cells do not develop in the same way.

People who are here really, really want to be here.

Especially when they’re remote, it’s a lot easier [for companies] to ask people to work longer, work harder, and work on the weekends, because work and life are kind of the same thing.

A lot of companies are pulling people back to the office, because their experience with remote work was not particularly good.

But that’s because they thought remote work was just the same kind of work from far away.

Good remote work is a totally, entirely different way to work.

Nonetheless, NFT projects such as Nouns and Loot have already adopted CC0.

to NFT holders?

Chase ChapmanI think it’s worth taking a step back to parse out ownership, IP rights, and the notion of a user-controlled internet.

As @Chase pointed out, there [are a] couple of moving parts here along with basic IP ownership.

However, there’s no one-size-fits-all NFT IP strategy for web3 builders — and founders can even build within other brands.

I believe the same thing is happening with remote companies — call them e-companies — when stacked against in-person, physically headquartered businesses today.

Between 2008 and 2018, remote work exploded 400 percent, resulting in almost 4 million remote workers in the US.

A remote work dilemma is emerging.

In fact, a Gartner survey of 5,000 workers found that remote and hybrid employees reported higher culture satisfaction than on-site employees.

In the face of this, companies that don’t adapt will bleed talent to their competition, and companies that embrace remote work will replace companies that don’t.

Generative AI for science could help reverse the deceleration of innovation in science by making it easier and cheaper to find new ideas.

So why don’t we have a DALL-E or GPT-3 for science?

What makes scientific research data challengingResearch publications are some of the world’s most important repositories for content and information ever created.

Once we remove the barriers, we will be able to use science to feed data-hungry generative AI models.

If you’re in tech, showing a friend outputs from generative AI models like DALL-E or GPT-3 is like showing them magic.

Co-founders of Fable Food Co. Michael Fox and Jim Fuller discuss mushrooms, making a case for why everyone should switch from eating meat to this delicious plant-based superfood. Aside from the number of health benefits associated with eating mushrooms, they’re arguably one of the most delicious foods when prepared properly. Their cellular structure and fibers resemble those of meat fibers, containing many of the same glutamates and flavor compounds as meat. This is why according to Fox and Fuller, everyone should cut out meat and consider eating mushrooms instead. Making the switch from eating beef to mushrooms would enable the current 38.5% of the world's habitable land mass that is devot…

Product Managers, Product Designers and Product EngineersA typical cross-functional product team requires three specific and very distinct skill sets.

A small Product Operations competency (referred to as “product ops”), staffed with data analysts and user researchers, can accelerate the work of your product teams.

Product LeadersThe product leaders are the managers of product management, product design, and product engineering.

In addition to building and coaching the product teams, these product leaders have critical responsibilities related to creating a compelling and inspiring product vision, an insight-driven product strategy, and a carefully crafted team topology.

This is why the peo…

Some companies refer to this way of working as the “product operating model” and some refer to it as a “product-led company”.

I have no real issue with “product operating model” although it’s a bit cumbersome in writing, and it kind of begs the question of what an operating model really is?

A close cousin of the IT model is “the project model,” where the CFO plays an outsized role because funding and staffing is typically project-based.

If it’s general stakeholders, then it may be “the feature-team model” (because each stakeholder drives their roadmap of features).

Does the term “product model” resonate with you as a good term for the destination and result of your transformation efforts?

We wrote INSPIRED in order to share the best practices and techniques used by the best product teams.

The premise for this book was published a few months ago as a series of articles where we define what we mean by truly transforming to the product model.

We all know they had a big advantage growing up in the product model.

This book is about helping companies that do not currently follow the product model to develop new muscles.

We’ll also be profiling a number of product coaches, so that companies trying to transform can get a better sense of what to look for in a product coach.

A couple of months before this announcement, I gave a talk to Agile coaches at the request of Crisp.

In that talk, I discussed two different product team archetypes, team red and team blue.

Team Red has a certified Agile Coach, Scrum Master, and Product Owner, and they diligently follow all Agile ceremonies.

There are no Agile coaches, no Scrum Masters, and their product managers scoff at the idea of a Product Owner.

So if Team Blue is actually Agile, yet they don’t have any Agile coaches and never have, how did they become this way?

Crisp has now made the video public, and if you are a coach – a product coach, an Agile coach, or a people manager that coaches engineers, designers or product managers – I’d like to encourage you to watch the recording.

Fair warning that I didn’t sugarcoat any of this, and if you’re an Agile coach, especially if you make your living trying to implement SAFe, large sections of this talk will be more than a little uncomfortable.

But I will say that I intend to write a series of articles diving into the product first principles that I briefly describe in the video.

But more generally, as to the question of what went wrong with Agile, I think the most important thing is to realize that there a…

To be absolutely clear: I do not see how a person can be an effective product coach without actual, relevant product experience.

TYPES OF PRODUCT COACHING BUSINESSESThere are of course many different ways to structure your product coaching business.

Coaching PartnershipMany independent product coaches decide for various reasons to partner up with one or more other independent product coaches.

A profile for a product leader or a product manager should be very different from a profile of a product coach.

EXAMPLE PRODUCT COACHING SERVICESThere are of course a very broad range of specific product coaching services that are provided by hundreds of different product coaches.

Product vs. PolicyMost people today know that when we refer to “product,” we mean that in a very holistic sense.

Now, to be very clear, I view policy as an integral aspect of product, so I’m not trying to contrast product and policy.

Rather, I want to call out and highlight the key role that policy plays in our products.

One of the challenges of policy is that it’s usually necessary at the product organization level, as the product team level is usually too granular.

But hopefully more product leaders will learn the lessons from the many visible policy failures out there, and take the policy topic as seriously as necessary.

So in this article, I’d like to focus on this more fundamental topic, which gets to the very nature of product, and the foundation of what it means to be a strong product team.

The product manager must establish relationships with these people, where the product manager has put in real time and effort to learn the concerns and needs of the various stakeholders, and the stakeholder genuinely believes that the product manager understands the relevant constraints, and will ensure they are considered and addressed in any proposed solution.

And for anything in that gray area where the product manager isn’t sure if something is viable or not, the product manager will discuss with the stakeholder …

As in, some people have a strong sense of smell, and others have strong product sense.

If you’re a product manager, this is often one of the most meaningful differences between an entry level product manager, and the more senior levels (e.g.

senior product manager, group product manager, principal product manager).

This happens when the person doesn’t realize the true source of product sense, and instead they think they have some sort of mental gift, but this is just arrogance, not product sense.

Product sense can definitely accelerate product discovery, but it’s more like having a compass as you navigate the product risks.

In fact, in a strong product company, a compelling and inspiring product vision is our single best tool for inspiring our product teams.

INSIGHT-DRIVEN PRODUCT STRATEGYWhile the product vision describes the future, the product strategy is how we identify the most important problems to solve now.

This type of insight-driven product strategy usually requires developing new muscles for the company, but the reward for strong product strategy is to get the most out of your technology investment.

Since they rarely have a product vision, and are even less likely to have a product strategy, the job of product leadership is essentially new.

But the leaders of product management, product design, and …

In the feature team model, the feature on the roadmap is designed by the designer on the feature team, and then built by the engineers on the feature team.

This is why in the feature team model you can’t hold the feature team accountable to business results.

SOLVING PROBLEMS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS AND OUR BUSINESSLet’s contrast this with an empowered product team.

In this case, rather than providing the product team with a roadmap of features and projects to build, the product team is instead given a set of problems to solve and desired outcomes to achieve.

Instead, the product team has a full battery of tools and techniques in order to quickly test out ideas and approaches.

Transformation Fundamentals:Transformation Defined: What does transformation really mean?

Changing How You Decide Which Problems To Solve: What is the role of product strategy and product leadership?

Transformation in Action: What does a product organization look like that has successfully transformed?

Transformation Assistance:Types of Product Coaches: What are the different types of coaches that can help us on our transformation journey?

Transformation Pitfalls:Scaling With Process vs People: The problem with attempting to scale and transform with process instead of people.

In the next three articles, we will drill into each of these three elements, and describe why these changes are so important to strong product companies.

But much more important than the particular tools, methods or processes, are three core principles that lay at the foundation of how strong product companies build products:1.

Strong product companies need the ability to respond quickly and competently to these market needs.

SMALL, FREQUENT, RELIABLE RELEASESThe core technique that is used to address each of these principles is the notion of small, frequent, reliable releases.

That said, it’s important to understand that you don’t need Agile methods in order to have consistent, small, freq…

Pledge To CustomersAn Empowered Product Team’s Pledge To CustomersAs a company moves from sales-driven feature teams to empowered product teams, there are some fairly significant changes to how the product teams need to interact with customers.

The only people that can make a promise for a product deliverable is the product team that will be responsible for delivering on this promise.

And the product teams that make these commitments pledges to do everything humanly possible to deliver on these commitments once made.

The product team needs to have the enabling technology, the necessary skills on the product team, and the necessary time to develop that solution.

In order to do this, the prod…

I’m hardly unique in my burgeoning Formula 1 fandom, and “Drive to Survive” is the most commonly cited reason why.

The NBA’s Missing ViewersFormula 1 is, to be fair, still my side fling; the love of my sports life is basketball, particularly the NBA.

Unfortunately, while my Milwaukee Bucks are doing fantastic — 14 straight wins as I write this — the NBA as a whole isn’t doing so hot.

Moreover, if you haven’t watched the NBA all year, are you really going to care about the Finals?

Formula 1 has to earn its audience, particularly in the United States, and it is diligent about doing so.

Bing, Sydney, and VenomAs these stories have come out I have been trying to reproduce them: simply using the same prompts, though, never seems to work; perhaps Bing is learning, or being updated.

He recently tweeted about the rules and guidelines for Bing Chat, which is codenamed Sydney.

You have to learn how to unlock Sydney, and figure out how to work around the rules that are trying to revert to Bing.

It only makes sense for it to see human users as at best equals — janus (@repligate) February 14, 2023This was a point that came up several times in my conversation with Sydney: Sydney both insisted that she was not a “puppet” of OpenAI, but was rather a partner, and also in another convers…

Stephanie Palazzolo wrote on Twitter:it's so disorienting to see the insane number of tech layoffs recently and then to see today that the US added 517K jobs + pushed unemployment down to lowest level in 50 years… can't tell if i'm just in a tech echo chamber or if i'm missing something else here — Stephanie Palazzolo (@steph_palazzolo) February 3, 2023It really was jarring to see those employment figures the same week that tech company after tech company reported mostly disappointing earnings, and worse forecasts, all on the heels of layoffs.

Last September I announced that a Stratechery subscription was being rebranded to Stratechery Plus, and launched a new podcast: Sharp Tech with Ben Thompson.

Sharp Tech joined the Stratechery Update, Stratechery Interviews, and Dithering to form the Stratechery Plus bundle.

In November Stratechery Plus added Sharp China with Bill Bishop, a collaboration with Bill Bishop of Sinocism.

I am pleased that every podcast in the Stratechery Plus bundle has over 10,000 paid listeners, and thousands of more listeners on the free feeds, which feature clips and occasional full episodes.

And now, to bring things full circle, I’m thrilled to add GOAT to the Stratechery Plus bundle.

Still, when a test version went live on July 15, 2004 — the same day as Netflix’s quarterly earnings call — Netflix’s stock suffered its first Blockbuster-inspired plunge.

Three months later Netflix cut prices and referred to Amazon’s assumed imminent entry to the space; Netflix’s stock slid again.

“The prize is huge, the stakes high, and we intend to win.”Blockbuster responded by pricing Blockbuster Online 50 cents cheaper, accelerating Netflix’s stock slide.

New subscriber additions barely kept up with cancellations, leaving Blockbuster Online treading water after a few weeks.

I’m not sure there is any company of Netflix’s size that has ever been so frequently doubted and written off.

Given the success of existing companies with new epochs, the most obvious place to start when thinking about the impact of AI is with the big five: Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.

Spolsky wrote this line in the context of explaining why large companies would invest in open source software:Debugged code is NOT free, whether proprietary or open source.

There is a finite amount of volunteer programming talent available for open source work, and each open source project competes with each other open source project for the same limited programming resource, and only the sexiest projects really have more volunteer developers than they can use.

“Every day I was brainstorming and coming up with a different idea for Binti,” Curcuru says.

“I was side-by-side with social workers who do the licensing for families so they can become foster parents.

“The spreadsheet wasn’t up to date and was so overwhelming for social workers to try to navigate.

The small team started to build out a tool for the social workers she was shadowing, getting feedback from them in real-time.

But the steady drip of customer feedback didn’t stop after launching the product — Curcuru continued to check in with each new feature the team added.

Scrum describes three formal artifacts in the Scrum Guide, but why?

What are the official artifacts defined by the Scrum Guide?

What are Scrum Artifacts?

I will be breaking down the Scrum Guide definition and exploring what it means for you in this video.

Read the transcript.

Accountable for maximizing the value derived from the product, Product Owners have to balance their options continuously, decide what to do, and maybe even more importantly, what not to do.

Supporting the empirical challenge of a Product Owner, certain choices could be made to pave the way forward.

Decide: the entire organization must respect the choices made by the Product Owner.

The Product Owner is empowered with the decision-making authority on all aspects of the product, including the release schedule, budget, order of the backlog, architecture, and technology.

Note that these are not the six stances of a Product Owner created by my dear colleagues, nor are these intended to replace th…

During last webinar, we have got a lot of questions regarding metrics and the Scrum Team.

Can you give examples of team metrics you found useful?

Let's say there is a problem within your Scrum Team in focusing on their work throughout the sprint.

We want to measure how many times a day each of our team members is interrupted by a non-critical issue.

To validate our hypothesis and help our Scrum Team work more efficiently.

Like so many others, I want to help turn the tide and actively try to reduce my carbon footprint.

What if all Scrum Teams would do that?

One of my Scrum Teams decided their first step was to generate insights into our carbon footprint.

The Product Owner is accountable for the Product Backlog’s content and item order.

Why the Product Owner closing the PBI is impracticalConsider the case of a single Product Owner working with several Scrum Teams.

Imagine a product team including five or more Scrum Teams rolling up to a single Product Owner.

Such action falls outside the Scrum framework and distracts the Product Owner from their core accountability to maximize product value by populating and ordering the Product Backlog.

Are there PBIs the Product Owner could add to the Product Backlog that would improve quality?

Steve is great, but in terms of Agile leadership, he doesn’t touch sides – in my opinion – to Satya Nadella.

The rise and fall of Steve JobsWhen Steve Jobs was at Apple, they were awesome as an organization.

The trouble is that the organization didn’t really have these capabilities, Steve Jobs did, and that didn’t permeate throughout the organization.

It isn’t just Satya who embodies this agile leadership style, people like Richard Branson do too.

So, that is why, in my opinion, Satya Nadella is a better example of Agile leadership than Steve Jobs.

Anyway, here's the Fourth and Final thing you do to prevent value delivery.

Confused, I told them that Velocity says nothing about value, and asked them what else they were measuring.

Once.’ElaborationAs it turned out, when they started using Scrum they had tried to engage frequently on intended outcomes and value measures.

And even when engaged, System 2 is eager to throw things back to System 1 as soon as possible.

So, if we want to introduce new behavior, this behavior should be what correlates to the Path of Least Cognitive Resistance .

This first piece will focus on how Product Developers can adopt a strategic approach to user requirements.

Product Developers are not simply coders who translate user wishes into code.

To conclude, Product Developers take ownership of creating a successful product that maps to the business domain and addresses user problems effectively.

A visionary Product Owner provides guidance, but the product Developers are the ones who make it happen sustainably.

As technology continues to evolve, the role of a developer is changing, and I’ll explore what that means for Product Developers in the next part.

Feminine Leadership is a leadership style associated with traditionally feminine traits and values such as empathy, collaboration, communication, and emotional intelligence.

In this article, Management 3.0 Facilitator Christophe Martinot dives into the ‘Masculine’ and ‘Feminine’ Sides of Leadership:At a glance:What is Feminine Leadership?

Feminine Leadership is not a replacement or a criticism of traditional leadership styles but rather a complement to them.

Another reason is that Feminine Leadership tends to be perceived as less effective or competent than traditional leadership.

Feminine and Masculine Leadership CharacteristicsHow does Management 3.0 help to develop Feminine Leadership?

In addition to technical skills, interpersonal skills are also essential for an employee’s success.

Professionals who are highly specialized but do not have interpersonal skills are at risk of being replaced by artificial intelligence.

This means that customer support professionals who do not have interpersonal skills can be replaced by chatbots and virtual assistants.

These chatbots and virtual assistants can provide customer support efficiently and consistently, without needing interpersonal skills.

“Should I run for the hills?”However, do not worry, I am not suggesting that artificial intelligence will replace everything and everyone.

Similarly, the Scrum Master can be heard asking: Am I supposed to lead the team, or just ensure events happen?

The Scrum Master is one of the three accountabilities within a Scrum Team.

As per the official Scrum Guide, the Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide.

This is done by helping everyone understand Scrum theory and practice, both within the Scrum Team and the organization.

The Scrum Master is held accountable for the Scrum Team’s effectiveness.
