New Netflix show pitch - we go and find and interview any of the 93 surviving @yoursinclair.bsky.social Star Letter winners and see what they're up to these days (I'm #57!)

I wrote this discussing an interesting finding from "The State of B2B Product Management 2025" survey I've run with @saeedwkhan.bsky.social B2B PMs & B2B Product Leaders have VERY different opinions about how well leaders are doing & I'm fascinated oneknightinproduct.substack.com/p/the-b2b-pr...

Nailed it

In my latest newsletter post, I exhort "AI Product Managers" to focus on doing "Proper Product Management" and focus on building defensible solutions that actually solve user needs - unfashionable, I know! oneknightinproduct.substack.com/p/beyond-ai-...

I've had an interview with Georgie Smallwood, CPTDO (!) at Moonpig on the bucket list for a while, and I was delighted to sit down with her to talk about crafting human experiences, the realities of empowered product teams & leading product, tech AND data 👇 www.oneknightinproduct.com/georgie-smal...

I had a fine time at Productized in Lisbon, speaking on a couple of leadership panels, giving a main stage talk, catching up with old friends and making some new ones. Here’s a summary of my talk and what everyone else spoke about: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Newsletter: This is The Case Against Generative AI, a comprehensive analysis of a financial collapse built on myths I’ll dispel, the markets’ unhealthy obsession with NVIDIA's growth, and the fact that there is not enough money in the world to fund OpenAI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

Oh, thank god, we're free

Google PR men: the web is thriving Google in court, where it is illegal to lie: the web is in decline

No, you don't understand, this is my emotional support rollercoaster

🚨 New podcast episode + book launch 🚨 Delight isn’t confetti. It’s strategy! I'm personally delighted to have had the chance to sit down with my friend Nesrine Changuel, whose book Product Delight drops today, to unpack how products can win hearts as well as minds.

Nice one, Gemini, nailed it

Thanks, Amazon!

Thanks, ChatGPT!

Note to self: if it matters at all, don't use "A.I. agents".

ChatGPT is just taking the piss now

The struggle is real

Out now! My "CPO Stories" episode with Katya Denike, Chief Product Officer at Holland & Barrett. We talked all about her journey into product leadership, the principles behind good product management teams, and the challenges of transforming a 150-year old retailer.

🌶️ Product Managers need to stop worrying about "being technical" and concentrate on doing their actual job well 🌶️ Are technical skills useless? No! Are they the whole job? Also no! You should be spending just as much time with users and business stakeholders as farting around with vibe coding.

There's still time to fill in The State of B2B Product Management if you want your say on what's going on in the crazy world of B2B Product 🙂 b2bproduct.io/state-of-b2b...

I listened to this on my run today and it's totally insane!

[needing this more than anything I have ever asked a person] no worries if not!

I've used LLMs to assist with code and built full applications even, but one thing I can definitely say from experience is that I would never want an "autonomous coding agent" let loose on any of my codebases ever

It’s incredible how companies are threatening employees to use AI or else but then have no idea how or what employees are supposed to do with it.

🤯 We've got hundreds of stakeholder requests - how do we prioritise them? 🤯 The naive approach: 🧮 Diligently prioritise every individual item using RICE, ICE, Impact versus Effort, etc. ⬇️ Sort in score order and just start working from the top, you'll get through them eventually

Whenever you think "Why is this feature being pushed on me so hard??" it's because someone needs a KPI to go up so they can get their bonus.

The culture of working in tech these days is being constantly worried about being overworked or unemployed. Take care of yourselves. We are replaceable cogs to our employers but irreplaceable to our family and friends.

This is supposed to be ironic but I saw it and went “Yeah!”

Got a new phone, my first without a headphone jack (🥹) but it turned out to be an easy fix
