I am taking a week off of work to help with some issues with my aging father, and have a fairly slack day. Since it ’tis the season to send thanks, I thought I would indulge in a - for me - rare reflection of things I am thankful for professionally. My original entrance into Product Management I was an early 30’s applications engineer who jumped into the that role from life as an analytical chemist and process engineer at a wafer fab.

One of the primary benefits of working in a product trio is we reduce the hand-offs between functional roles. In the old way of working, a business stakeholder communicated a need to a product manager, the product manager wrote requirements , handed them off to a designer, who then created designs, and then the requirements and the designs were handed off to engineers to implement.

In our product team, I have a reputation of being the sponge of institutional knowledge, the person that everyone asks when they need to know something. I am not sure how I got that reputation, but it just ain't true. Sure, I have a lot of tribal knowledge, and a large library of links to arcane and dusty corners of our institutional knowledge.

The Product Bistro is undergoing a massive evolution. It started during a 6 month hiatus in employment, where I took some time to reflect on my career, and to make a run at freelance or piecemeal work. Originally I built it on one of the lower tier paid Wordpress commercial sites, just to free myself of the back end hassles associated with the setup and maintenance of a clean professional site (and, if I was able to crack into the consulting game, I could write it off as a business expense).

In 2009, when Mixpanel was founded, the world was in a period of uncertainty and still facing the Great Recession. Amid a bleak outlook, companies like Slack, WhatsApp, and Uber were founded and began to lay the groundwork for orchestrating major paradigm shifts. It’s no big surprise that from difficulty springs innovation, and while it took many years for those companies to become the giants they are today, the seeds of their inspiration sprouted at a time when there was a lot of unknown.
