I love this. Imagine a distant future, after civilisation passes, when aliens find earth and discover one remaining satellite. They connect and discover a virtual world! Could it be humanity, their old world, saved, in silicon?
They enter and meet … Doom!
Yup. That was the humans.

Being decisive and detail-oriented keeps teams safe.
Until it starts making people hesitate to share ideas with you.
It’s not that you’re “too much.”
It’s that your sharpness shows up before your curiosity does.
If you want more influence, lead with openness before accuracy.

Vibe coding. Mind boggling.
80% done in almost zero time. The remainder … is a battle of wits and negotiation and creative wheedling coercion. ‘Pleeeeease do what i want’.

Lots of excitement over the positive potential of vibe-coding. Lowering the entry barrier to creating code and products fast.
Yet no one seems to be talking about a negative potential with “vibe-hacking”. Is that also a thing? Lowering the entry barrier for evil blackhat hacking?

Was 100% worth it.

Trains out of London are messed up. Hot as hell, crowded, very delayed, rerouted or cancelled. And here on a random, half way platform where I have to wait 40 minutes they’ve shut the shop, so noone can buy a cold - or tepid - drink. What next - locusts? Zombies?

How is a CPO role different from a VP role?
Firstly, this is a 𝗕𝗜𝗚 step up.
At least as big as IC → people manager.
Don't underestimate it.
What makes it such a big change?
