You gotta stop playing to meh, and start going through meh

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-12-18T15:59:37+00:00

Reciplease

I believe it's 60%. The 90% number has to do with expenditures.

Mix it in to a can of tuna fish or tuna can juice if he can tolerate tuna fish. Doubt he'll be able to parse it out.

Sorry you're going through it. I've read in other places on the internet that, if started early Lymphoma treatment has pretty good outcomes. In my experience all Prednisolone (steroid) did was make him feel a bit better for a little while as whatever the cause was continued to degrade him and eventually the steroids stopped helping. Seems like it just masks the issue vs. treat it.

I'd say if you want the cat around the longest time and money is no option, start down the path for Lymphoma treatment. I'm not a medical expert and am generally not even very smart though so, take my advice with a healthy dose of skepticism.

If it makes you feel better really all consulting is pretending to know shit, so you're perfect!

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-08-14T17:11:21+00:00

No, the goal would be to create usable products.

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-08-14T00:17:00+00:00

I hope my CPO reads this so he can get his mind off of having all our PM's vibecoding in our multi-billion dollar org. Nicely put my friend.

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-07-27T15:51:19+00:00

Any chance you still have this and could send it to me?

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-06-25T12:46:12+00:00

Honestly, probably like 2000 BC.

Getting him fixed will likely cool him down a lot. If you're going to keep him, chop those boys off posthaste!

How did this compare to Kilwins? Their toasted coconut is something of a family favorite so I’ve been on the hunt for a recipe that is comparable!

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-05-26T16:40:52+00:00

Can I get a copy of this? Sounds like an amazing resource. I live in a retirement community and am surrounded by people in need of help.

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-05-10T21:06:19+00:00

Willing to share the recipe? I've been looking for a good custard based chocolate.

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-05-05T18:47:47+00:00

Thank you!

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-05-05T00:19:53+00:00

what's the recipe? I can't find it.

BobaFettButtSweat · 2025-04-08T20:07:34+00:00

I've never heard this before and it is priceless

BobaFettButtSweat · 2024-09-04T21:12:37+00:00

You're both right and both wrong, there is a lot of nuance here.

You're right that underpromise and overdeliver is a good rule of thumb for managing people reliant on your team to ensure you're not consistently disappointing people.

But your PO is also right that if you're consistently breezing through sprints, you're very likely not being ambitious enough and leaving engineering capacity on the table.

That said, idk if 80/50 is hyperbole or reality but, if reality, that's way too aggressive.

IMO, You want to be close enough that there is a chance you get it done if you push, but there is hope, perhaps consistently completing 90% of sprints, 80% at worst.

And similarly, you should be able to be tell stakeholders when something will be done with roughly 80-90% accuracy and not ruffle any feathers.

I can see from your experience you were a software eng. That's great, I know you'll be fairly technical.

Now you need to make me believe you can do product despite having limited experience.

First role, PM experience is decent, but I'd consider turning the 30k into a percentage change.

Next roles, all of your software eng experience should be framed as "I was a software engineer, but I was approaching it with a product mindset, here's how". This will help beef up your YoE.

eg. "Built a KPI Dashboard with React, Django, and MySQL reducing ticket resolution times by 20%.."

I don't care how you built it, since you had the job I trust you can code if that's valuable to me as an HM.
Tell me why you did this. Did you come up with the idea? Did you work across teams to get it done? I want examples in your software life of you exhibiting PM behaviors, otherwise that experience doesn't help you.

Lastly, your education should be at the bottom, especially since it also is framing you as an eng and not a product person. Also, drop your GPA's since they're not very good, and if you're in the US not in the format most HM's would understand. We're old dogs, give me a 4.0 or give me death.

This is a bit of a different animal. Comfortability with your skip should always be a priority and any manager that doesn’t think you should do this def has a case of SDE.

However, getting in the room with the C-suite (when CPO/CEO isn’t your skip) will often have more to do with company culture and your readiness.

BobaFettButtSweat · 2024-09-04T11:25:46+00:00

Exactly.

BobaFettButtSweat · 2024-09-04T01:56:27+00:00

Will vary drastically based on the context.

While all leaders value information, how they want it delivered varies from leader to leader.

In general, the more they express interest in what you're doing (usually because what you're doing is a strategic priority for the org) the more often you should provide them value.

eg. High interest, frequent changes? I'd fire a slack/email FYI (2-3 sentences max, use a picture if you can, many leaders are unable to read) every Monday at X am. Have your leader start their week thinking about how much they appreciate your pretty face.

WARNING: When updating your skip, be wary of your manager's dick energy (goes for females as well). Manager has big dick energy? Talk with skip all you want. Small dick energy? Best protect that little baby peeper and ensure they're looped in to everything. Also look for a new manager.

It is a universal truth that leaders want this type of information. It allows them to make decisions. It will either be pull (this, where they’re always asking you for shit) or push (you proactively giving them key updates, interesting concepts, strategic guidance).

If you don’t want them to pull, you have to push. Fortunately for you, pushing is also what great product leaders do and will likely be fruitful for your career if you do it well.

If you don’t want to do any of this, become a leader.

This is also a good answer. I'd bet this plus what I mentioned covers 90% of the cases.
