I asked my google home to play me Ed Keupper and it started playing Alice Cooper - and these are very different vibes!

Marty Cagan shared his thoughts on product creators - an inclusive term for designers, engineers, as well as PMs, the impact of AI, and the necessity of prototyping to test with users, engineers and stakeholders alike. www.eriontheinterweb.com/2025/09/prod...

Does anyone else have 20 more water bottles than they need? Or is just me?

I am beginning to think, that despite best efforts, product prefer prefer chaos

Massive FOMO - missed the last few. THE best meetup around

Did Colbert use the word "irraculate" in his interview with Robert Reich? I've looked it up and can't find a meaning. Anyone?

That's so beautiful

Finding Stability in Creative Uncertainty Why AI Partnerships Might Be What We Need Right Now

Zafer Bilda's thoughtful take on AI - informed by research and practice - is an insightful antidote to all the grasping hot takes. open.substack.com/pub/zaferbil...

My sometimes new workflow - Step 1. Can't form my thoughts. Step 2. Write a prompt in Gemini or Claude to help me. Realise that writing the prompt has helped me form my thoughts. Step 3. Decide whether I'm ok now. Optional step 4. Hit enter to validate

Sorry for your loss. Years ago when my father passed away my boss was equally supportive. He was great in all ways but this was something I'll never forget. All the best.

Triplej announcers should have probably mentioned Black Betty is a cover #hottest00

'I'm being paid to fix issues caused by AI' Businesses that rush to use AI to write content or computer code, often have to pay humans to fix it.

Whether it's mistakes caused by AI or bland marketing copy, writers and coders are being hired to fix AI's mistakes, and for some it's becoming their specialty

If you learn by doing, you better try and do new things, otherwise you won't learn anything new at all.

Those who take the responsibility of people leadership for granted or dismiss people stuff as extraneous to project delivery and outcomes completely miss the opportunity to scale their impact.

feature request - track/suggest change in @googleslides.bsky.social 😱🙏. Would transform the collaboration and review experience

The symbiotic relationship between content farms and Facebook is both weird and lame.

Caught up with a former colleague over dinner. The conversation was about how the work was great until it wasn't and it wasn't for over a year. Like a boiling frog. Was a great reminder that the rose coloured glasses I have in my memory of that place saw the good, bad, & the ugly.

Great feedback is something you can do something with. Its a collaborative act. Its helpful. It might even make you feel excited about how your thing could be better. It doesn't make you feel defensive or smaller. It expands you and your work.

Fools rush in, and books like The First 90 Days outline wise advise about what to do in a new job yet people still are told deliver a strategy in weeks and hit the ground running. It's possible but know that people will feel the waves from any lack of care, consultation or curiosity.

new word - disrumblings - not quite a disagreement, but more than rumblings.

yep. i havent done something like that but will build up slowly.

so far so hopeful

was thinking about the loss of the 🐤, the cringe of linkedin, and whether I should give this place another try and this came up first and seemed a good omen

Just read an AFR article about how an ex big 4 partner automates his linkedin posts with AI (and of course provided by a company he invests in) and thanks but no thanks.

All good! Sent with zero expectation

Wow...I've did something similar for design a while back for an in-house talk. You've probably covered same terrain already but I'll see if I can dig it up for you

dear everyone, everyone can tell when you've used chat gpt, or any other magic synthesizer for that matter

Is it just me or does Notion not recognise Australian Dollar as a currency in its database component?
