📣 "The #ProductManagement content I wish I had when I started..." - I'm starting a new substack to focus on the mundane, daily tasks of great IC #PMs

The first post focuses on iteration: open.substack.com/pub/nagyvikt...

Next post in two weeks. Would love to read about a topic? Comment it below!

Thursday, I met several friends at #KubeCon and between the chats, I could join a few talks.

Thanks go to ControlPlane for handing me an entry badge!

#CloudNative is an awesome #community, and I can't wait the #KCD Budapest event to meet again: community.cncf.io/events/detai... - See you there!

If you end up in #Oxford not knowing it, check out at least the Blackwell bookshop. I've spent ~2 hours there, and hardly left its basement level. #books

With #meta removal of #fact-checking, I was thinking about the core issue. The problem is that people read opinions as facts, even worse. We read opinion websites ( #facebook, #bsky) and treat them as facts. I love reading sci-fi, but I never consider them as facts. Where do people go sideways?

I recently discovered what I consider the most impactful book on #strategy I've read to date: "Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works" by A.G. Lafley and Roger L. Martin. I can recommend it to everyone! It's "Shorten Your Odds" section might be a worthwhile read on its own too. #productmanagement

I went to a #schwimmbad in #Wien. It was nice and clean, but still behind the bath culture of Iceland. I'm always puzzled how poorly cultures learn from each other even in today's globalised world. Do you have any favourite countries for bathing culture?

I love the discussion in www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvem... by Christian Idiodi and @martycagan.bsky.social about successful #productmanagement and #humility. It matches my own understanding of our job perfectly, and it's in stark contrast with how everyone in the industry tries to sell themselves.

After building and operating a smart home for a few years, I summarized my learnings in docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Feedback is welcome!🙂

Tűkön ül a tél
Csomagolunk ezerrel
Boldog Karácsonyt

I just can't understand how can cookie approval popups provide value to the user. Wouldn't there be more value in removing them and offering less customized ads?
