Judge Schnoopy posted:To me it's an equation of time. I only have so many hours in the day and most of them are spent building the product. The product team is designed to spend all of their time focusing on customers. I can't be effective while focusing on customers and product isn't going to be effective focusing on how the solution is built.

Vulture Culture posted:My org has, for a long time, had one extremely good product manager and a bunch of other PMs who stare at him while he singlehandedly absorbs every product do you work for my company? (I feel bad for our PM but I feel like she needs to let other projects sink instead of taking on the responsibility)

Several times I walked through a new process with him on the whiteboard, then after explaining it realized there was a smaller portion of the work that could be delivered independently before the whole. I dunno if "business value rubber duck" looks good on a resume, though.

Vulture Culture posted:Healthy teams quite often have backlogs that are months long and not nearly enough time to do all the work they need to ship high-quality software. Haha, yeah, healthy teams do this, yeah…  No, it hasn’t gotten any better here. In fact, I ended up taking the afternoon off yesterday because of a depression spike/mental health downturn. I’m okay now, but gently caress man.

Is not like the work got done in the meantime. It was just waiting there for you.

*a customer report comes in that prod is down, issue is quickly validated as universal, failing API is identified, and automated alarms trigger within a few minutes* Golly gee! Service X went down?? poo poo, they're usually rock solid. Huh, looks like they've got an active ticket and it seems they think this is isolated to their testing stage?? Boy, better make sure they're aware this is a broader issue because surely our production environment isn't pointed at their unstable testing environment, right? Right?
