Great resource on the Modern Data Stack by if you're wondering what the buzz is all about 👇

In a nutshell, the MDS is just the old data stack but cloud-based and super simple and intuitive to use.

So many podcasts are recording videos now and I don’t get the use case? 🧐
Podcasts have always been something in the BG while I’m showering, driving, cooking or doing chores. Dedicating 100% attention to something where the value isn’t inherently visual seems like a waste🤷🏻♀️

Some companies formally shut down and others, not so formally. And the time you take off during this season may not even count towards your annual leaves 🤯
Gotta love the European love for life over work 🙌🏼♥️

It’s beyond just Christmas decorations or greetings at the office. There’s a huge push to slow down, recharge and spend time with family.
Nothing major is pushed out in Q4 and the main focus is holiday readiness. And you can’t forget the multiple release freezes.

It’s my first proper holiday season at work in Amsterdam and this is so unlike anything I imagined!
Christmas parties at the office and out starting 2 weeks before Christmas, gift exchanges, holiday plans (that you’re actually encouraged to make) and more.

There are Word PMs and there are PPT PMs.
As a Word PM, I can say this thread is definitely bookmark worthy 🔖

Every PM needs to give an exec presentation sometimes.
But many suck at it, wasting the chance to be noticed.
How to easily turn a presentation into a clear, compelling story?

Love the concept of ritual building social apps! They're probably limited to the conscious boomer / millennial segment and will never gain mass adoption but that's likely the non-goal anyway.

I remember seeing a US property where the checkout price was literally 2x the listing price. To decide, you had to go all the way to checkout and then start again.
Ideally, it would be great to see the full price + taxes but this is still a big step in solving price transparency

I’ve heard you loud and clear—you feel like prices aren’t transparent and checkout tasks are a pain. That’s why we’re making 4 changes:

No, me neither but it's low-key fascinating.

6. Diff app experience
makes it super easy to convert Live photos to Boomerang or short clips. Android had Live photos too but I could only use them as images.
That makes me think there are probably other apps too that give a somewhat superior experience on iPhone

5. Apple Pay
Technically, Google Pay and Samsung Pay function similarly but I just never adopted them. And I can't get over how incredibly simple it is to pay with Apple Pay.
I might even be spending more because it's such a delightful experience 👀

4. iMessage
Call me uninformed but I had no clue that the iPhone automatically converts SMS between Apple accounts to iMessage🙆🏽♀️ Imagine my excitement when I could add reactions to what I thought was an SMS!

3. Privacy
You can definitely see how privacy is at the heart of everything. With every new app downloaded, you're given a choice to let the app track your activity outside the app or not.
If an app is capturing your GPS in the background too often, you're notified of it.

2. Navigation
Adjusting to the absence of the bottom nav was huge.
But the swipe nav is just 🤌🏽🤌🏽
Swipe-right for 'Back' is a game changer.
Swipe-down for minimised screen is so easy that the 3 clicks on the Samsung home key now feels tedious.

1. Notifications
iPhone doesn't allow you to take action from the Notifications screen (apart from open / clear) and that's slightly annoying, especially for WhatsApp messages.
But Scheduled Notifications 🙌🏽 Declutters so much spam and only delivers the imp ones immediately.

Switched to the iPhone after being on Android (Samsung 🙏🏽) for ~11 years. Total fish out of water situation for a few weeks.
And then.. well I realised what the hype about iPhone design was all about.

All you need to able to understand / assess a PM is a product document they wrote. Tells you everything you need.
- Is there a DARCI / RACI?
- Is there OKR alignment?
- Is there clarity of thought?
- Does it show enough collab?
- Is the opportunity space supported with research?

I've been a Product Manager and I've been a Product Owner. There's absolutely no difference in job responsibilities.
Technically, PM = PO + Strategy + Planning
But in reality, POs end up doing the job of PMs anyway. Can we just agree to only have PM roles please?

There's something about being in your 30s that makes family mean everything to you. And that includes friends like family.

Impact to UX is minimal when you consider the huge business value that the recommendation engine adds. It all makes sense now, doesn’t it? Why would Netflix rob itself of more data that improves its money making engine?
Fin.

Now let’s look at what happens if we just let watched titles stay on My List
- Possibly cluttered list
- Users still have the ability to remove titles themselves, which is more input to the recommendation engine

But that data isn’t publicly available for obvious reasons. I think the bottom line is - if it helps the recommendation engine, don’t touch it 🤷🏽♀️

The logical next step is to look at how the auto removal / hiding of watched titles affects the Recommendation space.
Ideally, I’d like to be guided by how much of the recommendation engine’s success is attributed to activity from watched titles on My List.
