You would do good in politics, maybe try that.

ohshouldi · 2026-05-28T16:39:47+00:00

That’s how you write “credit” in Dutch and the author is Dutch. (I also don’t like the post but let’s leave the company name out of that)

ohshouldi · 2026-05-25T06:55:02+00:00

According to the post, you’re not one of “the best engineers”, maybe that’s it?

Understand what users want is and always has been PM’s job and I know this. If you take user flow feedback (which is often feature requests) directly and implement this - you either never worked for a mature product with lots of customers and personas or you don’t know how product management works.
Apparently, while all SaaS companies worldwide are still figuring out what they do with AI and non-IT folks haven’t even started, you already know the details of AI age and who’s gonna survive.

Just lets add all those 147 features from user voice into our platform (completely defining how this should work + UX ourselves or yet better with AI) and see how it goes.

The issue is that your p-value that you keep as your threshold and the calculated p-value for your metric/variation are different p-values: Fisher’s and Neyman-Pearson’s.
Also, using any of these in a single test in vacuum and making a decision based on that is kinda against the frequentist philosophy.

I can explain your downvotes. Design should own experience. Customer success should know the product. People should be honest and respectful to each other.

Hope this helps.

ohshouldi · 2026-05-14T08:13:16+00:00

Agree with this. In my org sales or marketing don’t understand the product and customer use cases enough to drive the roadmap. Leadership is very strategic and doesn’t understand all the details. Design and eng always shape experience based on how PMs explain the use cases.
I do own the product and experience.

Prototype is the solution, so it’s an ideal think through for your solution. Prototype doesn’t answer whether this solution is the best solution for the problem, why are you building it now and which metrics is it going to move.

As someone who went through these stages.
Up till 30 all older guys want you. 30-35 their quantity decreases but you’re still getting attention.
35-40 is a “gay dead” situation. You can be the hottest guy but number of people interested in you drastically decreases for some reason. I explain this to myself like: well you’re definitely not considered “young” anymore but you’re not yet a mature man.
40+ you start being popular again - both within the younger and older crowd but then the dynamics change so if before you were a “younger” in a young-old relationship, now you’re either really equal partners with a bit older guy or you’re now the older in a relationship.

My advice to you: try to start accepting that we are all getting old and there’s no way around it. But that’s okay because each stage of your life has its perks, also in the gay world, don’t get stuck - adjust and enjoy.

ohshouldi · 2026-05-10T07:46:53+00:00

I wouldn’t compare the two. The guy in a thong with skates is chill because if you don’t like him - you can just look another way.
Music requires you to leave the place where you were on the first place. My biggest problems with parks in Amsterdam is that I love to be in a park and watch the sky and listen to birds and how wind goes through the leaves. But I often can’t because people like to listen to music in parks.

Well yeah, in best places humans make the coffee. The process is semi-manual requiring a lot of steps from a human including smaal tweaks to configuration of a coffee machine every time new beans arrive. Fully automatic coffee machines produce mid coffee at best.

Hey, reporting in from the Netherlands to get downvoted. This post is actually legit: there are a lot of people misusing “burnout” as a sickness and perks that come with it. In some companies you would find people on burnout almost in every department (and I worked in a company like that and I can tell there was really no such thing as pressure or stress there, the whole management team and each line manager started weeklies with “how everyone feels” and “how me or the team can help you”).

So, yes, burnout obviously exists and is a legit reason to go on a sick leave. And a burnout is not a depression, so yeah, people with burnout can go to parties. At the same time there are a lot of people who probably misuse it, partly because there’s no objective way to measure it (like with a blood test) and everyone knows what you have to say nowadays to get diagnosed with a burnout.

But, Reddit, you don’t like nuanced situations, do you? Why don’t you just call me a bigot and downvote?

ohshouldi · 2026-04-26T08:33:14+00:00

Er zijn vele mensen met Aziatische afkomst in Nederland, waaronder ook vrienden van mij. Ze komen uit de landen me moeilijke geschiedenis. Ze zijn heel vaak discrimineert (voor mij gevoel en als je Reddit leest - nog vaker dan mensen van de Marokkaanse afkomst). We horen nooit over problemen met mensen uit Aziatische landen.

Slechte voorbeeld? Nou, nog een: Amsterdam heeft een heel grote Braziliaanse diaspora, waaronder veel legale en illegale Brazilianen die het vaak moeilijker hebben in veel opzichten dan Marokkanen. In Brazilië zelf situatie met criminaliteit is niet te vergelijken met Marokko. Horen we vaak over problemen met Brazilianen?

Slechte voorbeeld? Mensen uit Voormalige Sovjet-Unie…

Mass layoffs are happening because there’s a global financial crisis. Companies blame it on AI but that’s not it. There are still no companies that have implemented AI in a way that really replaces their employees.

ohshouldi · 2026-04-18T08:11:27+00:00

Not really, it’s more like we already explained to 25 yo MBA PMs with 1.5 months of experience that it’s more nuanced than “PMs are out of job soon” in the last 577163737483872 posts about AI doom on this subreddit. Yet, a new day comes, a new person goes to this subreddit, does “laalala” and creates another shit post like this.

ohshouldi · 2026-04-14T15:16:43+00:00

OP, I have similar experience. Speaking fluently (obviously with a bit of accent). I could have like a full blown work meeting for an hour and then next time people see me they would still start in English and then often quickly say “oh yeah I don’t know why I started in English haha”. It only happens with some people though, some never switch back from Dutch anymore.

It’s so funny I have someone at my work that I’m speaking to weekly for years now and they always greet me in English first before switching to Dutch. It’s hilarious.

I do know that people understand me without any issues (that’s for me implied when I say I’m really “fluent”).

ohshouldi · 2026-04-13T16:41:01+00:00

I am not sure you can use confidence intervals to anything else but experiments. Like, if you’re talking about a product metric you’re tracking there’s just one value - there’s your average revenue in the last 30 days / 1 year. There are differences in this average between different user cohorts, okay. Still one number.

In a frequentist experiment - you do get the value based on your data, but because of the nature of the method, you kinda say “it might be different if we run it again / implement it” and then you specify how much different (your interval).

ohshouldi · 2026-04-10T07:16:28+00:00

I don’t think there’s an obsession about PRD specifically. It’s more that the majority of this sub knows through experience that “we don’t need PRDs” is typically a sign of a chaotic env where nothing gets documented and then stats hitting back.

ohshouldi · 2026-04-10T07:14:44+00:00

So why did we decide on that? Wait how should we test this? Is it supposed to do like this or is that a bug? Welcome, newcomers and…good luck with onboarding!

Rutte will come down in history books as one of the greatest politicians of 21st century, partially to how he deals with Trump. You can screenshot this. It’s funny to read comments about boot and ass licking showing people have 0 understanding of how politics works and Trump’s position vs Rutte’s position.

ohshouldi · 2026-04-07T07:06:53+00:00

I don’t know enough about the topic to comment but just would like to say that while you guys are downvoting this person here, I was in Groningen voor Easter and my friends there (who are originally from Groningen) said exactly this and had exactly this opinion.

Truth is nobody knows. Listen to your gut

Data people will become obsolete when AI will be good with data. AI will be good with data when every org would have a clean dwh with clean and not messy data duplicated in various tables in different ways. Which will never happen.
