Crazy how flagrantly false statements in the CNN presidential debate are left to stand by the moderators. Shows you how post truth US political discourse has become

Passengers sit and sleep on the floor at #DXB airport in @emirates's terminal 3. Little to no signs of boarding, very few airline staff in the terminal and those that are don't have any details about whether flights are crewed or will depart 🤯

6 hours in of being delayed hour by hour. 7 hours yesterday. @emirates do you just have no idea whats happening with your operations? Or are you withholding what you do know from passengers deliberately? https://x.com/NirupaG/status/1780867936439152785

A tax for people bad at maths?

About to take the stage to talk about the Tyranny of Product management and tell a room full of product managers that they should get over themselves. Reply with hot takes and rebuttals. Bring it! #nzproductconference

Things are about to kick off at @productaotearoa's inaugural irl conference. It's a sell out! #nzproductconference

This is right up your alley @_d4ncer https://x.com/hadynz/status/1641538757810860033

Happy to be hanging out with @productaotearoa folk soon at Product Tank Auckland to do a talk on @MoovenHQ's positioning pivot. Will cover how it came about, what we learned and how it went (spoiler: quite well). https://www.meetup.com/producttank-auckland/events/292251486/

I dislike it intensely when a paid product uses screen real estate to market themselves to their customers. Sorry @hadynz but you'll likely a target of my ire for all my perceived Atlassian's missteps ;)

It seems that most people in tech have a story of accidentally doing something to a database and causing a production outage. Today was that day for me

Given it seems it's the trend to share where we can be found on Mastodon. I am @bradley_scott@mastodon.nz

Everyone is focussed on an upcoming reliability crisis at Twitter, but then @LinkedIn goes down instead and Elon isn't even anywhere near there

Six Four

This is my favourite Six Four episode so far. A story of the confronting the inconvenient truth that your project is more complex than anyone thought, and what happened then. https://t.co/uIFFl4KDzX

Product lessons learned from Lucky 8 It was a Friday night not long after Auckland’s lengthy Covid lockdown. My wife and I, like many Aucklanders, were itching to get out and about.

Inspiration comes from odd places sometimes. I went out for dinner and drinks and I made 3 realisations about product strategy at Lucky 8 restaurant. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/product-lessons-learned-from-lucky-8-bradley-scott

Overall, the organisers of the #RWC2021 deserve more credit than I've heard them receive.

I have NEVER heard a crowd cheer as loudly and as enthusiastically as they did for the Blackferns. This started even before the match - at the announcement of teams, and as teams walked out from the tunnels

Firstly, the tickets were for an afternoon of rugby including the bronze medal match. People started arriving from 3pmish which alleviated the crazy rush and traffic you usually see shortly before kickoff at Eden Park

I was lucky enough to watch the #blackferns RWC final on Saturday. I've been to 2011 and 2019 finals, Lions decider and countless other games. Without a doubt the blackferns game was a superior entertainment product. Here is why:

In 2014 Xero's customer growth was about to hit a wall. Unless they did something drastic, and soon, they would not be able to add new customers. @lerevedetoiles @martinwildash and Paul Rushworth recount how Xero's AWS migration got started https://t.co/v1NgcGfc5l

Maala 🐶 providing input to @GCammell and Jono about key @MoovenHQ product design decisions

Oh dear @BenClapp. What is Tyler going to do? https://x.com/heroku/status/1562817050565054469

Ah, Microsoft. Your best work.

Does anyone else break the internet, well, @Google when searching for 'Partly'?

This seems like very inconvenient news for the natural immunity anti-vaxxers out there

"I'm starting to get used to this gig at @mooven_io" #officedog

Startups are an exercise in compromise due to scarce time and money. This podcast episode with @melrowsell and @nickhouldsworth talks about some of the tradeoffs that @vendhq made on its way to acquisition https://sixfour.onpodium.com/episode/vend-the-compromises-we-made-670

I guess it was bound to happen eventually:

Today we welcomed @GCammell and Marina to the @mooven_io team. Unprompted they rocked the Mooven socks on day 1 so had to capture the moment

A pleasure @lukeryannetnz. Great to catch up briefly https://x.com/lukeryannetnz/status/1521029166363254784

Doggo needed to lose some kgs and has been on a diet. Has increased her food drive which makes training easier but also increased food related shenanigans. At the park yesterday she apparently went into some woman's bag and stole a box of treats and ran away from everyone 🤭
