@warren.senate.gov what is the Massachusetts delegations plan to confront these increasingly obvious attacks on free speech by the administration. First Colbert, now Kimmel and flags at full mast shaming.

This is my only meaningful political stance going forward: independence movements for regions that have FAR better politics than the cursed lands administrating them federally with woeful consequences.
Free Scotland, Free Wales, Free Northern Island, Free New England, etc.

Very proud to still have a kernel of my past life hanging around. Very happy with how this came out except for the high E that went a little wide.

When your production of Der Rosenkavalier in 1969 needs an Italian tenor, naturally you just grab Pavarotti and don’t credit him.
Crazy to stump across this little gem.

Curious if there are any Amazon PM-Ts at the senior or principle level in my network on here. Prepping for an interview and I’d love a person to bounce some ideas off.

I’m trying to come up with a new way to talk about either your individual or a groups readiness for change.
I’m calling it the “Glinda to Elphaba spectrum”. Are you getting along to get along or are you more leaning towards being ready to burn it all down?

“Progress over perfection” assumes everyone understands where we’re all going together. That’s where most leaders fall down. If you don’t know which way to go it’s easy to mistake any action for progress.

Continually amazed at how coherent the text that AIs is while also being totally contextless in terms of how people connect to one another. So literal.

“Sometimes, the best thing we can do is let folks fail.”
That’s standard advice in tough situations. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes I don’t think there are other options and yet… I’ve frequently found that you let them fail, things get worse.

At this point in my product journey, I’m pretty sure I’ve got more questions than answers.
Less about what’s the best framework for blah, blah, blah.
More about how do you work effectively with folks who don’t see eye to eye with you.

One of the biggest recurring challenges I’ve seen lately in companies adopting product mgmt. is lack of alignment. Not just on ideas but on basic definitions.
If I say “product” and you say “product” and we can mean totally different things, progress will grind to a halt.

This is great. If every burnt out employee did this, there would be a shocking number of new union members on tech.
Nearly 300 primary care physicians employed by Mass General Brigham have notified federal authorities that they want to join a union, citing “burnout” and the “corporatization of medicine” at the state’s largest health system.
