Businesses don’t exist without customers. Product Management is an empathy role (empathy for customer AND business needs)
product management isn’t a design role or a technology role—it’s a business role

I just re-subscribed to a print newspaper for the first time in years and I cannot fully express how pleasurable it is to sit down with my coffee and read the newspaper. 10/10 no notes would recommend.

App idea. Search for what you want on Amazon, then this app shows you a small mom and pop store near you that has the same thing.

If Canada’s response to Trump’s tariffs is described as “measured” or “reasonable” our government has failed us.
This is a “don’t blink” moment… our natural resources are one place where we have outsized strength - this is the moment we need to punch the bully as hard as possible & not back down.

I would say 911 dispatchers provide a valuable service but it would be ok to criticize them if you called them and instead of sending an ambulance they said "Someone should do something about this!" and hung up

The whole point of naming laws after victims is to stampede over the unpopular fact that the Bill of Rights revolves around protecting the rights of the accused
It's really hard to explain to people who haven't spent time invested in criminal law, but laws named after past victims of crimes are almost always atrocious.
The Laken Riley Act is another data point in favor of a small theory of mine:
Any criminal legal law named after a person is a terrible law w egregious overreach.
