Testing in production is becoming more and more common across tech. The most significant benefit is knowing that your features work in production before your users have access. With feature flags, you can safely deploy your code to production targeting only internal teammates, test the functionality, validate design and performance, fix any bugs or defects, and then turn the feature flag on and allow your users to access it already knowing that it works in production.

Why product management interviews don’t filter for real product skills. Interviews for product management jobs select for smart people, but not good product managers. Almost all PM interviews ask the candidate to walk through a product case. This typically means talking through a hypothetical situation in which they improve an existing product, or design a new one.

In my opinion, the definition of an MVP is often misunderstood, and I’ve seen entrepreneurs and product teams misinterpret it with unfortunate results. Those that take the concept of “minimum” face value run the risk of releasing a thin set of features that may get their product to market quickly, yet deliver a poor customer experience and ultimate
