Ironically, in an environment where it's getting easier to build, moving fast to capture low hanging fruits might actually be what's keeping many products from winning. Do the hard things.

Validation isn't complete until the user actually engages with a product with their time or money. Everything else is a way to increase the chances of this happening.

The difference in energy, and hence outcomes, between wanting to do something and having to do something is enormous, regardless of whether the thing itself makes sense to do or not. This is why raising intent (yours or someone else's) through introspection, questions, and discussion is crucial.

Unpopular opinion- YouTube will be fashionably late in adding video summaries and Google Photos is going to take their time in allowing to ‘remove duplicates’. Some prioritization decisions are based on business models, not customer empathy.

An ad-hoc experiment idea in the roadmap can be singularly effective but is also random, blunt and obtrusive. An experiment part of a workstream, on the other hand, is gentle continuous pressure promising compounding results. Systemise where you can and should.

The best product teams labour beneath the sway of a strange urgency that they find hard to explain, but eventually learn to, together.

Web3 and next-gen AI are emerging as primarily open-web first. It took a while, but glad we’re here.

Adtech/attribution seems to be ripe for blockchain disruption. Who is working on this?

An interesting takeaway from my conversations with product teams- One effect of the current tech environment is that no one internally wants to be seen as a blocker anymore. Revenue generating initiatives and plans are getting +1’ed faster than ever.

You have only the below two choices. Whom will you pick? 1. A product manager who is great at product, but bad a visibility/optics related communication. 2. A product manager who is great at visibility/optics related comms, but average at product.

It’s a moat now given how early it is, but physics will likely come down to minimum market requirement at some point.

- Fix the incentive to fix the behaviour - Amount of upfront work is proportional to the degree of irreversibility of the consequence - Think big, but break it down the path - There is always another way - Reduce enough to move fast but not more

Saw The Playlist (Spotify story) Scenes around solving problem of instant song playback rushed back memories. Nothing compared to Spotify, but reminded me of the blood & sweat invested in bringing instant response to mobile web with Flipkart Lite (world’s 1st PWA) and goaling on zero time-to-playback at Prime Vide

Go slow to go faster- the best product builders know what this means.
