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’.
Nice, I've read this really interesting piece of yours before, and just re-read. I'm particularly interested in your process of internalizing product frameworks, and what that looked like (and which frameworks you thought most useful, looking back).

To be honest, I don’t have a particularly good approach right now. Still stuck in the trial and error phase.
(To be more specific my goal is ‘product taste’; but I don’t yet see a clear path to it quite yet).
