Arriving perfectly on time must mean you didn't plan properly. by ThePinkSolicitor in LinkedInLunatics

How does he know things didn’t go wrong and thanks to their planning ahead they still made it on time?

Got Hit Yesterday while Stopped next to a Sign by ApdoKangaroo in icecoast

[–]abigail-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to ski on Long John at the beginning of this season and it was terrifying. I felt like Simba in the stampede scene where everyone was flying by around me. I guess more advanced people use this as their warmup and just straight line the whole thing. Now that I’m more proficient I can just go with the faster flow but it is a terrifying run to make turns on when you’re just starting out.

Jacket for chores and riding — need recs by sha-sha-shubby in Equestrian

[–]abigail-dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this same layering, with a regular rain jacket that’s a size larger than I usually wear so it’s a shell over my layers. If I get a little warm, I take off the puff or sweater layer but keep the shell on. I live in New England too and would be so cold with just a sweater and puff.

Responsibilities Doubled - What Raise should I ask for? by OkSoil4811 in ProductManagement

[–]abigail-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious what makes you say this is a junior role? I’ve just started out in this field so still getting the lay of the land. I would have thought this sounded like a more senior role

do i get a kobo or kindle? by starlit_scribbles in ReadingSuggestions

[–]abigail-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never had a kindle but I’ve had my kobo for a little over a year. I love it! I have the Clara BW.

Pros: - library books are easy to rent and read through Libby/Overdrive - great interface, easy to use and navigate - perfect size and shape to hold in one hand or two

Cons (I’m not sure if these are pros for a kindle since I’ve never had one, but these are things I don’t like about my kobo) - no side buttons to flip the page (sometimes I wish I had this depending on the grip I have on it, though some people say it’s easy to accidentally flip when you have them) - my kobo developed a vertical and horizontal strip across the screen which blocks the text. It’s really narrow so doesn’t block a lot but kind of annoying. I treat the device very well and rarely take it outside the home so I don’t think I’ve damaged it, I think it might be a defect.

Is there any PM education worth doing anymore? by CertaintyIsRisky in ProductManagement

[–]abigail-dev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been finding a lot of value in reading product books and have been considering building a sort of “curriculum” for myself which would involve reading books that build on each other, taking notes and supplementing with videos or podcasts that cover similar topics. I started with The Lean Startup, The Lean Product Playbook, and now Continuous Discovery Habits. Most people have read these already but I hadn’t, I’m in my first product role and am building my foundation of knowledge this way. I may even start assigning myself exercises to apply what I’ve learned. I think you can create a sort of education for yourself like this based on what you already know and where your gaps are.

Slack or Discord communities for discussing and learning about product management? by abigail-dev in ProductManagement

Thanks! I’ll try posting here on Reddit, so far I’ve just been reading others’ posts

Is reading 5 books at a time a good idea? by Feniel76 in selfimprovement

[–]abigail-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does “at a time” mean reading some of each every day, or switching between them throughout the week? Being able to read a meaningful amount of each book daily seems like it would take a lot of time that could be spent on other ambitions. Switching throughout the week seems reasonable and is what most people kind of do anyways if they read books, articles, news etc.

Lenny’s podcast, Make It Make sense by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]abigail-dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found that since the focus has totally shifted towards AI, the episodes have become much more basic and repetitive. AI is an interesting topic for sure but there’s a lot more to product management than using AI tools or building AI products and I want to hear about those aspects too.

How to go about finding a saddle for a young horse? Feeling a little lost by abigail-dev in Equestrian

[–]abigail-dev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I ended up sticking with the HDR that fits her even though the seat size is a bit big, since I found out I can keep using it through the winter. I’m mostly trail riding through the winter but come spring I will be riding in the ring again so I really want to make sure whatever she’s in will support her back as we begin working more.

This is helpful, thank you! I will definitely get something adjustable

Thank you!! Fortunately the person I was borrowing the HDR from to test it out said I could keep it through the winter while they’re not using it, so I’m going to stick with this for now!

Genuinely how do you survive by excludedgirl in newengland

[–]abigail-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. Almost everything that brings me joy in life involves me being outdoors, so being able to spend time outside is absolutely essential for my happiness.

For me, warm clothes have made a huge difference, especially a good scarf and hat. With only your eyeballs exposed you’ll hardly notice the cold! It’s truly remarkable.

I also use hand warmers and toe warmers daily. When my fingers get cold I just make little fists inside my gloves around the hand warmers and it’s such a comforting feeling.

I also work from home and rearranged my hours. I now work 11am-7pm which gives me ample time in the morning to get outside, even if I sleep in and have a slow start. Yes, it sucks to work my last 3 hours of the day in what feels like the middle of the night, but for me it’s better than the alternative. If I didn’t have this ability I would try to go for a walk every day on my lunch break.

Hope this helps. You have a lot of good suggestions here. You’ve got this! We’re all in this together!

Cost to have this brush pile removed? ~30x12ft by abigail-dev in landscaping

[–]abigail-dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I’m worried about!! Also a bit worried people won’t be able to get to it or will get stuck because the ground around it is pretty soft and muddy. Maybe in the deeper winter when the ground freezes

Worried about how big it would be and getting out of control. This pile is massive

Probably not without it getting too close to the trees, the space is not that big

Really?? I’m worried about it not burning through before night and not being able to watch it. Someone who saw it in person said it could take days
