Coming up in a few minutes, we'll talk about product management and design in platform engineering. It seems a little hopeful that they happen that often, especially the second. But, maybe more than you'd think? www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8K6...

My daughter just showed me her phone and I couldn’t figure out what I was seeing, so she explained that what you do now is create totally unique icons for all of your apps that represent your aesthetic, and arrange them into different home screens.

The fact that these sentences always end with "... which we will cram with more work for them" and not "... so we moved to a four-day workweek" really illustrate the hollowness of some AI evangelists' promises that AI will deliver us to some kind of post-work utopia.
“By removing writing from reporters’ workloads, we’ve effectively freed up an extra workday for them each week” is such a strange sentence to read.

*There oughta be a special FX museum for diegetic-prototypes that didn't even make it into the film
Around 2001—it may have *been* 2001—I attended a talk by Fred Ordway, tech advisor to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
He showed a photo of a briefcase computer prop, which didn't make it into the movie. Keyboard, video screen, camera, printer, phone.
Audience laughed. It looked so, so 1990.

Platform engineering has better things to do than to build a platform. Just buy it instead. Or, you could experience the seven types of failure: youtu.be/9-GveqhDKdc?si=0qzwJ...
7 Ways to Fail at Building a Platform - Coté
Building your own internal developer platform can seem attractive, but it's a risky proposition. In a platform as a product approach, when you build it, you own it, and now you're in the business of developing a product instead of your actual business.
