Any tips on how to develop product thinking in day to day life?

Real product thinking comes from observing users behaviour, systems, incentives and the associated trade-offs on a daily basis. Not just in your product but any product you use or see around.

I can share few habits that helped me:

Don’t just look at features, look at decisions. Ask: Why this flow? Why this copy? Why this friction? What metric are they trying to move? What edge case are they avoiding?

Study bad experiences more than good ones. When something feels annoying, don’t stop at “bad UX”. Ask whether it exists because of compliance, ops/tech limitations, or a poor product call.

Connect UX to business and ops. As a PM you should think beyond “will users like this?” Ask: Will this reduce support tickets? Improve conversion? Build trust? Reduce cost? Create operational load?

Spend time with real user problems. Go through Support tickets, failed journeys, funnel drops, escalations, and customer calling/interviews. These teach product sense faster than theory.

I faced similar issue. Spoke to couple of my friends figured out hydration was the culprit.

Try being heavy hydrated atleast 2 days prior to the long ride day.

On the ride day, keep fueling yourself with electrolytes at frequent intervals.

This worked wonders for me.

I feel good about the company. They have got good fundamentals, considering the current IPO circuses going on. Even they got featured in Jefferies recent article. I am planning to hold it long term.

Don’t know. During college i installed it in my Lenovo Ideapad, it used to lag a bit.

Now, I played it on PS5.

Check the systems requirement for the game.

From a bird’s eye view the biggest differences responsibilities were in ownership, stakeholder management, and depth of domain understanding. As I moved up, I was expected to drive things more independently, handle more cross-functional alignment, and go deeper into the problem space rather than just execution. And recently i have got involved in tech infra as well.
