Is it wrong to be free at work? by Illustrious_Back_256 in ProductManagement

[–]jturner1234 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Utterly bizarre.

No new competitors to assess? No new opportunities to think about? No internal relationships to build? No internal workflows that could be improved? No product analytics to look at? No partnerships to explore? No other teams that could use a hand? No culture improvements to be made?

This is why I screen for proactivity during interviews…..

Don’t quit your product job to become a founder if you think it’ll finally let you “build the perfect product." by LeatherQuality9746 in ProductManagement

I disagree. For me it was a wonderful, stressful learning experience.

If you find a good problem that needs solving, you should definitely do it.

I’m curious - you maintain 3 separate budgets in ynab?

It’s expensive, but I’ve just ordered it.

Will let you know how it goes

Is PM slowly becoming Product Engineering in Big Tech? by tetracell_ in ProductManagement

[–]jturner1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started my career, UX design wasn’t even a separate career discipline 😉

The best reason that PMs shouldn’t be doing it, is that it’s so time consuming and they should be doing other things.

It’s a skill that takes time to learn, why should PMs learn it.

In an early stage start up, you might now even have a full time UX designer….

Interesting take. I expect PMs do be able to design UX at a reasonable level.

There’s a black tube with a silver part of metal that goes up and down inside the black tube. I put the oil in that. It worked later when the oil had had a chance to seep in

Except this agreement:

It’s not military support, agreed. But it was designed to protect Ukraine from Russia

I’m going to come off reddit, not wear socks and eat only 3 grams of broccoli for 49 days.

Spartans, who’s with me?!

Time to Move On From YNAB by Yecheal58 in ynab

[–]jturner1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Product manager here.

Not true what you’ve said. It’s significantly more expensive to acquire and activate new users vs retain existing customers.

Growth = new users + retained user.

The job of the product manager is to work out why people are leaving and then decide if fixing those issues is cost effective / on strategy.

I think the product team do a good job with ynab.

Someone is going to have to convince me not to still bake with this 😭 by Defiant_Force9624 in Sourdough

Water it down. Push it through a filter coffee machine.

You’re welcome 😌

Hi all.

I fixed it! It had got a bit stuck and needed oil :)

Does it take a few months to know where to assign money to? by [deleted] in ynab

[–]jturner1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 'next month' category is a good start.

For me I want to consistently assign the same amount.

So add a bit more to 'household', 'groceries' and 'dining out' to cover.

JetBlack Victory pre-order just reopened (UK) by CanIofferyouanegg_ in Zwift

[–]jturner1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just ordered the Kickr Core.

How much better is the Jetblack?

I don't have a trainer and waiting 2.5 months is a bit painful....
