Here's my workflow: I read on the Kindle, as I'm reading I'm highlighting or making notes in the book. After I'm done reading, or sometimes if the book is long or complex, when I'm done reading a chapter, I make an

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Even if I don't believe that Snowden is a Russian agent, I think that is a fair question. The point you make about the sources and uses of cash telling the truth about someone is a great one

As others have mentioned, each service that you use for ads typically has category and advertiser blacklists that allow you to configure exactly the type of ads you want to allow in your app. Believe me, those advertisers also don't w

The Soviets repaid the debt with unimaginable human losses: 25-30 MILLION war dead. 80 percent of all German military casualties occurred on the Eastern Front. Just think about those numbers.

If we kill advertisement, you can say goodbye to the vast majority of content on the internet. The better approach is to make advertising a better experience and to create incentives for advertisers to spend ad dollars on quality content.

Update your LinkedIn job preferences to list the cities that you're interested in. Use your network. That's how I received multiple offers, I'm not an engineer, should be even easier for an engineer. Be prepared to take a b

I'm an American product manager- I had offers in the US and 3 EU countries after my last job search (ended up moving to the EU). Good product practices are transferable across borders.

The small niche site doesn't have the resources to direct sell to these advertisers. Also, for most advertisers it is far more convenient to go to a player that can sell them many of these niche sites bundled together on a single orde

"The Master and Margarita" - I'm assuming you read this in English. I'm currently reading this in Russian, great book, but I wonder how much is lost in translation and lost in "missing context"- there are so

So basically - "If you need to do video calling, use Duo. If you need to send messages Android to Android use Android Messaging. If you need a cross platform messaging service outside of enterprise use Hango...ooops"

My experience has been the opposite- I haven't had a job via a cold application since I started in tech (2009). Maybe because I'm not an engineer.

If you're still sending in resumes cold you're doing it wrong. You need to either apply through connections or turn "cold" job postings into warm leads by finding someone in the company to refer you. How? You can find p

I keep several logs (I'm a product manager): 1. a "Weekly Notes" file where I track meetings or other notes that come up 2. a separate 1 on 1 file for each recurring 1 on 1 meeting that I have 3. a "Customer Meetings&quo

Full disclosure i'm a product manager- good PMs care about ship speed just as much as you do, they should also care about reducing the risk that what you ship will not solve the right problem for the customer or solve the right problem

I would read Marty Cagan's blog https://svpg.com/articles/ many of his posts in the "Most Popular" section address the product manager + engineer relationship.

I would imagine part of the difference is explained by the fact that if you move within the US you'll still encounter the same language and similar culture. If you move from one EU country to another, odds are you'll encounter a

If any of your products can help me get rid of the yellow ring around my shirt collars, you have a customer (I hate throwing away $100 shirts after only a year of 2-3 times a month wearing).

You'll chat with a recruiter then get scheduled for a phone screen, which may lead to an in person interview. Pretty standard stuff.

> incredible power of democracies I think it helped that the war wasn't fought on American soil (outside of Pearl Harbor, obviously). This means the homeland, industrial capacity and transport systems weren't disrupted.

I loved the book "Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity" - the system is pretty simple and gives you a great framework for not only organizing all your projects and tasks but also helps with prioritization.

I was a devout Android user, ever since the first Android phone came out, but after back to back horrible experiences (the first OnePlus and the Nexus 6), I ditched Android for the iPhone and haven't looked back. Much better hardware

Fellow PM here- I think as PMs we have a tendency to feel like we should be involved in as many projects as possible, but it is important to really pick and choose where you can add value (and get value back) so that you don't stretch
