We’ve all signed up for a product only to realize a few months later that it didn’t quite fit our needs. Think about that gym membership you bought in January you’re still paying for even though the last time you went to the gym was in early February. We remember how easy it was to sign up for the one week free trial on the gym’s website. But to actually cancel, you have to find a phone number, wait on hold, give your membership number and finally pay an exit fee before you can put an end to you

I had so much fun when I was a kid in my first years of high school discovering Dungeons and Dragons. I was playing the first release of the basic set in the early ‘80s and I’d spend hours creating heroic persona, sending them on dangerous quests and then leveling up with experience points and treasure. The game was a contest of points, dice rolls, probability and imagination.

With each product I’ve built, things have rarely come together exactly as planned. But it’s not the inconveniences, technical challenges, or misguided people that are the problem. It’s that we ever allow them to catch us off guard in the first place. Anyone can operate under ideal conditions. But ideal conditions are the exception, not the rule. Eighty percent of your time building product will take place in a maelstrom of ambiguity and obstacles.

The transition into product management from a technical role is one of the most difficult. Why? Of all roles that touch the product, technical roles are the furthest removed from the market and the customers. It can be done successfully however, as many engineers have already proven. If you’re a BA, technical product manager, engineer or developer with product manager aspirations, make the move in two smaller steps instead of one big leap.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Your product can’t suck. That’s a given. But it’s also not enough to be a good product that doesn’t hook your customer and connect to their pain points. When you boil it down, your product falls into one of three categories: 1) shelfware (no one uses it, no one remembers they have it); 2) a tool someone has to use, but hates doing so; 3) the one you want it to be: something so useful it’s not software, it’s a habit-forming product.

This is incredibly useful for things like feature flags, dev-ops switches, network routing, and customizing behavior for different customers.
