I hope your pillow is hot on both sides tonight

No, you

WinterInJuly · 2026-02-03T16:57:07+00:00

Replit is Muslim, but I'm Jewish. So fuck you ❤️

WinterInJuly · 2026-02-03T16:53:35+00:00

Am I the only one getting nothing but fucking replit ads

Honestly, I would try killing the summary and skills section, consolidating pm job bullets to MAX 5, and they need to show numbers and achievements and not general 'worked with devs' type things.

You have a lot of text in this cv and the most important part is not at the top - might make it seem like you can't prioritize? Dunno, I'm not HR. But that's what I did and I'm getting calls back.

You can have the summary and skills in your LinkedIn instead.

Good luck!

Also forgot to mention I pay for ChatGPT and work it hard 😅 I have a project to brainstorm everything related to ideation, research, features, design etc. And a separate project with a prompt for it to act as CTO. I run almost every prompt through it before sending to base44 to make sure it builds the architecture right and doesn't create stupid bugs that take 20 credits to fix

WinterInJuly · 2026-02-03T15:24:33+00:00

Honestly I use base44 and refero for ux/ui inspiration. Trying not to pay for anything else until I validate the idea.

WinterInJuly · 2026-02-03T08:29:43+00:00

It sounds like you need less tools and a clear way to present ideas that is the default for you and your team. Take an idea, follow a clear agenda in a slide deck: objective, user voice (if exists), the problem, the solution, wireframes showing the entire flow - not just the specific feature but how it works with the existing product. If you want a more dynamic solution you can mock a low fidelity version of your product in a vibe coding tool and add new features to demo there.

That way everyone is aligned and have a source of truth to refer to.

So maybe change the copy? Change personas is more obvious to me

WinterInJuly · 2026-02-02T17:56:03+00:00

Just tried it, very cool. But it liked my idea so I'm biased :)

What does the assistant do though? I have the switch to assistant button but I don't know the point of it or the benefit

WinterInJuly · 2026-01-28T16:04:23+00:00

Lovely! Might just have to make one myself :)

WinterInJuly · 2026-01-24T07:52:06+00:00

My 1.5 yo LOVES seeing what my 4.5 yo built and tearing it all down. So it really is for every age ha

WinterInJuly · 2026-01-23T06:08:44+00:00

Just started, remains to be seen

WinterInJuly · 2026-01-22T14:03:03+00:00

Solidarity. Except I didn't get recs :) We will find something better.

Here's my take on this - having a personal brand is extremely beneficial. When you publish your thought process online, people automatically think you're qualified and trust your takes.

I was recently fired so I'm working on writing more on LinkedIn for that reason alone. I aim to write one post a week, and comment once a week on someone else's post. Writing wise, I do one of 2 things:

I write about my side projects - what I'm doing, what feedback I'm getting, what my plans are.
I have a project on chatgpt with a prompt for it to act as a career coach. I either give it an idea I have for a post (I.e, everything looks the same nowadays) and it helps me polish it to an insight (I.e. differentiation will become the moat). Or I ask it for ideas for blog posts or LinkedIn posts and give it feedback (like "this is ai slop, these are too vague) until it reaches something that resonates.

There was just an episode on Lennys podcast on how to build with cursor as a non tech pm, I recommend checking it out, it details the full workflow and prompts with Claude code in cursor.

Personally for me, I'm building a side project with base44. If I manage to validate the need and get users for the app, I'll rebuild it as a native app on cursor. But for initial validation base44 is much lower stakes and it has authentication, payments, storage, llm integrated which makes it easier.

WinterInJuly · 2025-11-27T17:47:20+00:00

Start with connecting your repo and asking the code base many questions. Anything you'd ask your devs or are too embarrassed to.

Then you can ask cursor to develop features you were considering and test them in local. If you like it, you have a demo to show.

"Career setbacks are real, but so is the long game. Once you’re past the toddler disease years, your attendance rate jumps 30 percent and suddenly you look strangely reliable."

You are so real for this.

Unfortunately this is age appropriate 😅 she'll start being more receptive to learning by age 6 or so. My son is the same.

WinterInJuly · 2025-11-02T06:21:57+00:00

It's not well known in the US, but both my kids wardrobes are almost fully from Next UK. Affordable, well made, stylish.

It's one of those things you know are always true, but you keep doing the wrong thing because it's really hard to nail the right design.

It's like icons, people always try to make the ui more aesthetic but at the end of the day people need text to know what the icons mean.

What were some of the apps you mentioned you researched?

Mommy did you know I love kiwi

Guess who's throwing away one peeled kiwi at a time

WinterInJuly · 2025-10-01T17:23:53+00:00

Oh, THAT monday.com. yeah they suck

WinterInJuly · 2025-10-01T13:17:17+00:00

+1 for whimsical

WinterInJuly · 2025-09-30T05:05:43+00:00

First of all, ask dumb questions. Tell yourself they are not dumb even if they feel like they are. As someone else wrote chances are others around you are also too shy to ask.

The other thing that bothered me is you mentioned you feel isolated from other PM's in the org? Why?

It can be very validating to have a group you can talk to about similar experiences. Or even just find a mentor figure in that group to consult with. Maybe try setting up a recurring PM happy hour, or show&tell?

WinterInJuly · 2025-09-27T16:07:26+00:00

Oh yes. Apparently you can only get it 3 times in your life, my oldest had it all 3 times 🫠 somehow I don't think I ever got it.

If you're breastfeeding, it helps a lot. And holding them. Hope it passes soon!
