I've been tinkering with AI coding agents lately and had an aha moment. The value comes from the shift in how I think because of how fast I can flow. More on that and the power of an "enhance prompt" feature:

Expectations have shifted drastically from Scrum Master to Product Manager. I wrote these guidelines after watching teams struggle with role confusion between PM and Engineering Managers during a shift in expectations.

Do you have any go-to ways to realign the roles when they're out of sync? https://mbbroberg.fun/garden/product-management-signs-of-healthy-engineering-relationships/

Product Management – Signs of Healthy Engineering Relationships

Product Management requires an effective partnership with Engineering. In my leadership experience, when an organization is still transitioning from Scrummasters or Product Owners to Product Management, that relationship is especially easy to tip over with the Engineering Manager (EM).

Just wrapped up our daughter’s 2nd birthday party and it was equal parts adorable and draining in the moment but pure joy right after.

Keeping that positive energy and appreciating the moment is a skill I’m building. These moments held reinforce it’s all worth it.

It's very cool to see @jay’s #PlatformEngineering #WardleyMap (and see how it's powered by @tristanls's service 🤩). I look forward to getting off the MapKeep waitlist to extend it into the realm of related services (service management, cost showback, architectural auditing).

Goodnight moon, goodnight cow jumping over the moon … good night little mouse 😍 #halloween #parenting

Drivers in #Bangalore / #Bangaluru can be centimeters away from 8 other vehicles with no lanes and some going the wrong way on a one way, all without a single scratch.

Driving at home is child’s play comparatively 🤯🤯🤯

Been in Bangaluru for 14ish hours and feeling almost acclimated. Everything got better after a good dosa 🤤 #India #Travel

I finally made time to read Predictably Irrational and it's been a rewarding trip down the irrational pathways of our mind.

It's a great way to think about how pricing–especially "free"–has a ton of irrational responses by our very nature. As someone who wants to know what my fast-thinking mind will jump to before my slow-thinking mind gets time to analyze, this it hitting home. If that captures your interest, it's worth a read.
