Exploring the potential of better functioning product organisations through product operations and operating models
Tired of people bashing frameworks like they’re the reason your product sucks?

@chriscompston.bsky.social & I went off on the “framework hate train” in the new episode of Thoughts Unravelled.

TL;DR: It’s not the framework, it’s how you use it.

I don't post much on Bluesky yet... I guess I'm still trying to figure out what makes sense to discuss here...
- Comic books + books
- Movies + Series
- Product Operations
- Design
- Product development
- Martial Arts

Yes, I have a lot of "passions" 😜

I'm not sure if it's a thing of age or plain stubbornness, but I find my self holding back from posting any complex topics related to Product Development and Product Operations.

Why? Because I just don't have the energy for all the pointless debates that may ensue.

Ok, it's officially done. Downloaded my contact and deactivated my account.
Today I officially said goodbye to Twitter (X). It was sad to say goodbye after almost 16 years and hundreds of conversations and connections.

This image show a summary of numbers, but it was so much more than numbers.

Now! Let's start over! Looking forward to connecting to folks here!

@sami-kivela.bsky.social OMG! Is that you? It's been ages! How are you? What you been up too?

Just getting back on Social media after a holiday break.

Update on my old comic book collection discoveries. I discovered 2 treasures I didn't remember I had:

- Fury of Firestorm #1
- Absolute Swamp thing by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson

I'm so chuffed I get to re-read these comics again

So twitter now has an AI bot you can chat with similar to ChatGPT... because giving Elon Musk more of my data always seems like a good idea?

So this weekend I started recovering my comic book collection that was left behind at my mom’s over 20 years ago.

The next few weeks are going to be fun!

They not in mint condition but I do have some cool collections from the late 80s/early 90s.

I even have some #1s of lesser known titles

Anyone in the UX industry remember a weekly chat called UXDiscuss?

I know a few of the OGs are on @bsky.app now... just saying

Ok, am I seeing things or are "Following" and "Discover" two version of the same thing on @bsky.app ?

I clicked on "Discover" hoping to find some cool people to follow and I just saw more posts from the folks I already follow...

On that, who would you recommend following on BlueSky?

Alright, true story. I'm having some difficulty getting back into the swing of an interactive social network because I had already discarded twitter...

What's on everyone's mind today?

Saw some content in my feed talking about a new Zombie series that is as good or better than #TWD

Also tons of #TWD spinoffs.

I've always been a huge fan of zombies and I can now admit that #TWD was for me, simultaneously a highlight for the genre and the reason why I now avoid the genre

Do you love everything comics? Then I suggest you follow @gailsimone.bsky.social

More than just being one of the biggest names in the industry, Gail actually interacts and geeks out with the rest of the community.

One of the best parts of my feed at the moment
December 6, 2024 at 9:00 AM
Did I just get followed by the real @officialtomellis.bsky.social ?

That is surreal if it's true. Especially as I literally just started watching #Lucifer a few months back...

Ah! I need to urgently stop visiting twitter... 5 minutes and my heart starts racing with the level of stupidity.

To be clear, I don't think stupidity is exclusive to twitter, just that is does seem to be the stronger voices right now

Funny how typos can change the whole vibe of a sentence.

I wanted to ask for input, but because the P is really close to the O on the keyboard, it came "inout"

I've often wondered what it would be like to have a whole conversation on slack where I don't correct typos...

What is the official verb for posting an update on @bsky.app ? Is there one? Just trying to get a notion of the ground rules
