Много съжалявам :( Не знам и няма и какво да кажа. Иска ми се всичко това да е грешка и да не се случва...и същевременно знам, че животът е гаден към най-добрите.
В този не говорихме много, но се надявам на повече в следващия.

Not sure how something like that would be relevant - every product is unique. If we had 2 products like for like, then they would be competitors and aim at releasing different features appealing to their user base.

Не знам дали е по-добре да ми мирише на въглища или на пица.
Май няма да проветрявам.

Уел, и за колите все още го има това с голямото reliability - Toyota/Lexus продължава да прави коли, чиито живот е много години и км с малко нужни интервенции.
За обувки и аз го направих последните години с 2 чифта, защото са по-красиви, от по-хубава кожа и по-удобни. За мен си заслужава.

Стига цената им да не е 10х - да.
Например автомобил: почти всеки път бих предпочел top reliability пред top performance, след като първото излиза 30-40% по-евтино. Но същевременно излиза 30-40% по-скъпо от масовите марки и модели.
Винаги има дребни детайли.

As PMs, we sometimes forget that saying “no” is part of the job — not because we want to block progress, but because we want to protect it.
But when you say “no” with context and care — “here’s why we can’t take this on right now” — it earns you trust, not friction.

When There's Too Much to Build and Not Enough Engineers
Ever looked at your roadmap and throught, "Even if we cloned the entire team, we'd still be behind"? Every PM hits that point. Too much to build, not enough engineers, and the clock is ticking!

I think Perseverance may have spotted interstellar comet 3I/Atlas last night from Mars!
After stacking 20 images from Mastcam-Z, I found a faint smudge of light in the constellation Corona Borealis close to the location where the comet was expected. 🔭

Roadmaps are living, sometimes messy, often changing, but they keep everyone aligned on the same goal and moving forward in the right direction.

The Myth of the Perfect Roadmap
The perfect roadmap doesn’t exist. Stop trying to build one. In reality, roadmaps can be fluid. Imagine the industry suddenly going in a different direction: Why wouldn't you adapt?

Lots of companies are too busy "growing" and "scaling" because of the AI demands, and are ignoring young talent. Everyone prefers hiring seasoned professionals instead of investing a few months or a year in nurturing talent that can repay 100x.

Substack e социалка като много други, но ми помага да си подредя мислите.
Би било яко, ако набере скорост и мога да го ползвам да си намирам клиенти за консултиране.

During my 3 months of paternity, I could find time for learning on topics I found I had blind spots:
- UX
- Trust & Safety
- AI, prompting, vibe coding, and a few more related things
In the post below, I'm diving a bit deeper on how I did it. Enjoy!

It's very easy to talk about your strong sides as a professional, but have you tried to evaluate where you lack? If you did, then did you do anything to gain that missing knowledge or experience?

As promised, my Substack blog would not be about #product management only, but I'll write some content about #leadership and #career as well. So, let's talk about our careers.
