Product manager (the good kind, I promise).
I ❤ APIs (designing, building, managing, etc) and spent 14 years taking Apigee from a startup to part of Google Cloud.
Involved in OpenAPI, aep.dev, and other OSS. 🌉 SF

The fact that we frequently prefer interactions and experiences that feel cognitively easy is also a reliable illusion. We experience this in our learning all the time.
