Tell me you’re a novice without telling me you’re a novice; examples:
- Product Managers who quote frameworks instead of *using* frameworks (with experienced PMs, product frameworks are so internalised they almost never cite them; got this from )

Lots of very curious, awesome, sponge like learners as well. They’ll be the first to say they are learning.

True — but the reason this observation was so valuable to me was that I turned it into “if I want to be good, I should internalise product frameworks so that they become second nature to me.”
Do you have a writeup / more to say about this? I've always been skeptical of frameworks (from time in mgmt consulting to product mgmt), but come back to a very small set of sometimes-useful frameworks serving as inspo for purpose-built frameworks. Love to hear others' thoughts.

I got this specifically from a tacit knowledge extraction from John: commoncog.com/blog/john-cutl
There are other cues that he pays attention to, the most significant of which is probably the existence of something he calls ‘flow’.

I've heard it said of musicians that amateurs practice until they get it right, while professionals practice until they can't get it wrong.
