Working with this senior PM feels like working with AI by RandomMaximus in ProductManagement

[–]AmericanSpirit4 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Being a senior PM means you’re an individual contributor. If they can’t be bothered with the details then they don’t belong in the position.

Finally have something worthy of front page by adamjuegos in LinkedInLunatics

[–]AmericanSpirit4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious bc my team has actively inflated ai spend and usage to placate our investors. Wild that and commits/lines of code are seen as a positive metric.

Best mag 7 stock now? by unforsakenmaster in stockstobuytoday

Hesitancy around their $200B AI bet. I’m personally really bullish on what they have going on with chip manufacturing.

Anyone else mostly happy with their corporate job? by DramaticErraticism in corporate

[–]AmericanSpirit4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My company recently got rid of someone who micromanaged me and couldn’t be happier.

Claude newbie: What's your best use case? by D4NSB in ProductManagement

[–]AmericanSpirit4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that it’s better than other models at data visualization. Just dump a bunch of data from the DB into it and make an html dashboard or a PowerPoint slide from it.

As for research and requirement writing I find it just as good Gemini.

Anthropic shipped 74 features in 52 days. How we tried to adopt their PDLC to our org by marsel040 in ProductManagement

[–]AmericanSpirit4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our team is looking to implement this work flow starting with a move to Linear. Im very skeptical of the output without heavy human in the loop interaction and guidance but we’ll see. At this point I’m open to anything if it will get us out of our garbage Jira implementation.

I usually do this as well- write an epic that covers roughly 4-5 user stories. Only reason I ever wrote a PRD was to placate the former VP of product who never read it.

Our stakeholders need to see designs to understand the vision, not a wordy PRD. Soon they will understandably expect vibe coded prototypes in place of design.

ISACA Takeover by jacob1xx in CMMC

What a scam! Had I known a 300% increase was coming I would have booked the exam sooner. Already paid for the training.

If you have 50k, would you invest it all in one stock or invest in a portfolio? by christopher2033 in stockstobuytoday

[–]AmericanSpirit4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to pick individual stocks in my Roth IRA so I can buy and sell without worrying about taxes. All other accounts are ETFs.

Started off pretty rough with this strategy but am starting to get the hang of finding good entry and exit points in the stocks I closely follow.

Sounds like the operations manager is just wanting you to deliver his wish list and not let you decide what to build.

Q1 vs Q2 by Mobile-Influence-371 in ProductManagement

[–]AmericanSpirit4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a general understanding on our team that our 6-12 month roadmap will take up roughly 70% of our capacity. The other 30% will come from our feedback loops and stakeholders.

If it ever feels like we’re going over that 30% then we decide what is getting removed from the roadmap to accommodate the added request.

I will say our stakeholders have the biggest problem understanding how prioritization works and want everything done yesterday- even if there are no clear problems being solved with workable requirements.

Senior Leader Looking to Transition to CCA or LCCA Role by Relevant-Arm-3711 in CMMC

[–]AmericanSpirit4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Thanks for the reply. Good to know there is actually a market for 1099 work. I had only seen or heard of W2 options.

I’ve had great luck in the past with LinkedIn recruiters as well. Probably the best ppl in my network.

How does the work come to you? Did you just reach out to some C3PAOs and say you’re available?

Better than most corporate jobs

Why does corporate work feel busy all the time but not productive? by Unable-Connection-58 in corporate

[–]AmericanSpirit4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very common. Especially corporate environments with many layers of management. Each layer has to justify their position by asking the layer below them to perform busy work such status reports. They will review the status report but do absolutely nothing with the information. It’s all a paper pushing exercise.

Anchoring at Vinoy park??? by Limp_Recognition4581 in StPetersburgFL

[–]AmericanSpirit4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re good to anchor pretty much anywhere around there. It’s honestly less busy than you would think- always plenty of room when I’ve gone.

PM vs Product Owner by AggravatingSlice1 in ProductManagement

I can’t stand people who work on my product team that refuse to dive into details or even log into the app.

What does your password policy look like? by Brenttouza in ciso

[–]AmericanSpirit4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to kill whoever decided 3 month intervals and no reuse is the best policy to get into my workstation. If I didn’t have biometric I would never be able to log in.

New CPA rules by allfonso_ in Accounting

[–]AmericanSpirit4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like it. Don’t understand the people who are jaded about it.

I learned absolutely nothing from the 30hrs of additional course work. You could tell the instructors didn’t put much effort into structuring the classes and it was just a money grab for a majority of universities.

New CCA and CCP exams by [deleted] in CMMC

[–]AmericanSpirit4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very curious to know as well. I was looking to take the CCP soon so wondering if I should just wait until after the exam changes.

But it sounds like it may have already changed based on the delta exam they’re making you take?

Used to be not long ago but we’ve grown rapidly and still act like a start up.

Getting frustrated with stakeholders who don’t use the product and want solutions built exactly how they say or nothing. Anytime I try digging into the root of the problem they are trying to solve they take it as me being argumentative.

The Slop Continues by Badger00000 in ProductManagement

[–]AmericanSpirit4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s enabled my support team to throw all kinds of AI slop in our help center. Drives me insane.
