I'm trying a new thing where I close browser tabs and windows if I'm not actively working on them. Working on my computer started to feel like living in a hoarder house.

A highly competent engineering team provided with thoughtfully AI-powered developer tools is a superpower. I'm blown away by the complexity of problems our team solves this way and the time it takes to solve them.

#Browns are once again gonna strike the perfect balance of “good enough that it’ll keep me up late” and “meh enough that they’ll still probably lose”.

Regardless of how long I've been doing this as a project lead or an analyst or a product manager, defining job or user stories to specify requirements is just hard.

Anyone have creative or new approaches they've found to be helpful? Maybe using #ai? I haven't figured out a workflow for that yet.

I suddenly remembered and introduced my 2 year old to Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel this weekend--the HBO Family animated take on the book.

It's basically Clayton Christensen meets painfully catchy songs and a life lesson about startups.

Also the kid is voiced by the guy from American Pie. 🤯
