    E045: Is being “strategic” critical to Product & Engineering success?

    We dive back into Reddit this week to answer some questions and hopefully help some folks out. From a team where product managers are rewarded for sneaking features into releases, to a VP who is obsessed with RACI charts, a theme emerged this week of "everything in moderation" as our overarching recommendation. There's also a question of what to say when your boss asks you "to be more strategic" and look at a Zendesk email spoofing hack that got us onto a tangent about Salesforce and Jira. As one does.

    E044: Will Augmented Reality glasses destroy your right to privacy?

    This week we take a look at some recent news stories, from Meta's new Orion AR glasses to a Noble-prize-winning machine learning model and Google's disastrous attempt to replace perfectly good tech with an LLM chat bot in its Android phones.

  3. E043: The looming self-driving car duopoly is bad, actually

    E043: The looming self-driving car duopoly is bad, actually

    Continuing on from our last episode digging in to how self-driving cars work, this week we're taking a look at the state of the industry with some news stories about Tesla, Apple, GM, and Google's Waymo. From poor safety records to massive companies pulling out of the market, the current state of the industry doesn't look great for consumers. It also gives Kevin a chance to return to his favorite topic: bashing Elon Musk and dissecting all of Musk's terrible choices.

  4. E042: How self-driving cars work and the ethics of a literal trolley problem

    OCT 3

    E042: How self-driving cars work and the ethics of a literal trolley problem

    This week we look at the tech behind self-driving cars and debate whether today's GPUs are able to make decisions faster than the human brain and the ethics of whether your self-driving car should kill you to save the lives of the drivers around you. Good luck to the software engineers who need to sleep at night after trying to solve the trolley problem.

  5. E041: Telegram and Boeing f***ed around and found out

    E041: Telegram and Boeing f***ed around and found out

    It's another news round-up as we look at the legal consequences facing Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, for enabling some pretty dark stuff on his end-to-end encryption chat app. Meanwhile, Boeing's woes continue as the Starliner has completely failed and stranded two astronauts on the ISS until February. We also dig into the latest in the epidemic of security breaches that have almost certainly put your personal information at risk, the failure of companies to entice workers back to the office, and a truly ridiculous new feature for Google's Android phones.

  6. E040: Is the AI bubble about to burst?

    SEP 19

    E040: Is the AI bubble about to burst?

    Unsurprisingly, we get a little heated this week as we return to everyone's favorite Kevin-vs-Andrew debate: AI We look at a few recent news stories where AI is the focus, including Microsoft's CEO for AI claiming that all content on the internet is free for them to steal to train the LLM models, a new app called Showrunner that wants to replace writers, directors, actors, and everyone involved in creating TV and movies with AI, whether social media and Ticketmaster need to outsource protecting their customers to AI-enabled partners, and a look at the stock market's shaky opinion of the AI bubble. Or is it a balloon that's simply deflating, only to inflate again another day?

  7. E039: Twitter banned in Brazil and more Elon fails

    E039: Twitter banned in Brazil and more Elon fails

    This week we dig into some recent news about Elon Musk's companies, from Twitter's terrible idea to roll out a Dislike button to its inability to comply with Brazilian law, as well as troubles with Tesla quarterly performance and the EU seeking to punish Twitter for ruining the Verified badge. It's not a good time to be Elon Musk, and while Andrew does his best to find the silver lining, Kevin's just happy to watch Elon fail.

  8. E038: Is there a right way to interview customers, how to deal with disagreeable stakeholders, and more

    SEP 5

    E038: Is there a right way to interview customers, how to deal with disagreeable stakeholders, and more

    It’s another episode of our segment User Stories, where we (hopefully) help some folks on Reddit. This week we’re looking at how to do customer interviews in a way that doesn't bias the interviewee but still provides helpful feedback, how to deal with a VP of Sales who goes running to the CEO to disagree with you about your roadmap, how transparent your start-up leadership should be on key business stats, and how to cope with the minutiae of daily start-up life as a Product Manager.
