    If we had seen covid + the lockdowns + work/school-from-home coming a year earlier, what tech would we have invented?

    Wait. Does the new schools guidelines mean school can re-open as long as they keep kids to small cohorts? I must be misreading this... because it's a pretty big deal if so.

    I’ve heard repeatedly that a valved n95 doesn’t protect others, but reasoning has never seemed quite right. Does it really trap LESS air than an unfitted cloth mask w big holes on the top? Duke study agrees. Any data to say valved n95 is worse than cloth?

    I don’t understand why we haven’t seen groups giving out (or even selling for fundraising) masks. Literally creating walking advertisements. (No masks, well, I get that. Know your audience.)

    Odd. My computer shows that county is on the state monitoring list, but my phone doesn't. Is it or isn't it? Does this mean that has failed the "off the state monitoring list for 14 days" metric? Is there any way to check this?

    Has anyone created a graph tracking metrics specifically as the monitoring / watch list tracks them? (Case rate for 100000 people for 14 days, hospitalization increase, etc)

    My new book is now LIVE on Kickstarter! My sister Christy and I have 30 days to reach our fundraising goal for our magical kids book that motivates kids to go to bed (and stay there!). Children ages 2 -6 absolutely adore it (and you'll reap the benefits)!

    There’s a large pool of patterns, questions, factors, and ideas that PMs use all the time. It’s much easier to recall one than to come up with a new one on your own. The more of them you’ve seen, the quicker and more accurately you hone in on the best solution.

    PM interview tip for senior PMs: make sure you show how you made / make strategic decisions in places where there was more than one reasonable option. If the choice was obviously right, that’s not an advanced skill. Especially relevant with setting the roadmap.
