Copying the design that Firefox and Safari use makes sense, but the way they talk about the changes really irks me for some reason. Who calls it “Chrome downloads”, as if it's a product with a name? What does “no longer modern [or] interactive” or “strong support for core download journeys” mean? I know this must be normal product manager-speak but far from creating understanding with users, for me it's alienating.
- est 3y ago> as if it's a product with a name What you have witnessed here is not a software feature alone, but some Googler's promotion opportunity. So yeah it has to have a catchy name.
- WesolyKubeczek 3y ago> strong support for core download journeys > core download journeys A bunch of my neurons experience a segfault each time I read these words. Just what kind of a twisted mind even invents those terms?
- ehnto 3y agoBut now I am really curious, what's a tertiary download journey?

I deal with these types of PMs every day at work, and with all due disrespect they live in an isolation chamber. They will drop insane acronyms they made up from their niche projects in front of customers and other teams without defining them. They will reference their important OKRs without ever showing where to read them. They ignorantly assume everybody is involved in their niche scope. And somehow these are the best people to talk to 'stakeholders'?
