I’m going to try a new reflection method. I’ll call it My Day in Three (MDiT). Here’s the first one, because why wait until January 1st for a New Year’s resolution?
After finishing the last book in Robert Bryndza’s Erika Foster series, I started a new Scandinavian thriller series tonight.
Spring Tide is the first book in the Rönning & Stilton series by Cilla and Rolf Börjlind. The series currently has nine books; let’s see if I enjoy them as much as the other Scandinavian thrillers I’ve read. 📚
I’ve been listening to this episode with great interest. Tomer Cohen shares some interesting thoughts on how the roles of product manager, product designer, and product engineer will evolve. I like the idea of product pods, which are essentially very small, multiskilled, and multitool teams.
Tomer Cohen is chief product officer at LinkedIn, where he’s pioneering the Full Stack Builder program, a radical new approach to product development that fully embraces what AI makes possible. Under his leadership, LinkedIn has scrapped its traditional Associate Product Manager program and replaced it with an Associate Product Builder program that combines coding, design, and PM skills. He’s also introduced a formal “Full Stack Builder” title and career ladder, enabling anyone, regardless of function, to take products from idea to launch. In this conversation, Tomer explains why product development has become too complex and how LinkedIn is building a product team that can move faster, adapt more quickly, and do more with less.
I completed a very short run early this morning. It was my first run after a couple of weeks of being injured. The pain in my right leg is not completely gone yet, but at least I was able to complete the run and it wasn’t as bad as a few weeks ago.
My Flighty stats for 2025. I really enjoyed connecting with my colleagues around the world. I’m looking forward to meeting more of them next year in China, Japan and South America.
