Agreed. Projects like these tend to feel shortsighted.
Lately, I lean towards keeping a vanilla setup until I’m convinced the new thing will last beyond being a fad (and not subsumed by AI lab) or beyond being just for niche use cases.
For example, I still have never used worktrees and I barely use MCPs. But, skills, I love.
Yeah, anyone who’s used LLMs for a while would know that this conversation is a lost cause and the only option is to start fresh.
But, a common failure mode for those that are new to using LLMs, or use it very infrequently, is that they will try to salvage this conversation and continue it.
What they don’t understand is that this exchange has permanently rotted the context and will rear its head in ugly ways the longer the conversation goes.
Ironically, I ignored Apple’s Reminders app as an options for years. It’s now my daily operating system. Lots of simple table-stakes features out of the box that elevate the experience above just using a simple Notes app
I've been inspired by folks like Pat Walls [0] to write everyday in 2021.
Three big reasons being that:
- I want to get all my good ideas out of my head

- It builds people's trust in my character
The internet is already 1-dimensional. So being able to interact with the thoughts of someone adds more dimensions to that person for you. And I want to be more than some pixels on a screen.
Personally, I created PM News to learn from the best.
I’m 21 and I love building products. I’ve made a few.[0]
I even started a popular newsletter [1] about making products.
Over time, I noticed that many of my readers wanted career advice to help them along their product career.
So I thought, “why not just create a place with the best product career advice on the web?”
PM News allows me to help those that want to advance in their career.
It also gives me an excuse to have conversations with some of the best product people in the biz like Chris Messina. And Brian Norgard (fingers crossed).
This is designed for people already in their career that want insights to advance further.
