Midway through 2025, LLMs became my go-to method for understanding a domain space. And it wasn't too long before they became part of my domain-driven design and information architecture toolkit. curioussquid.substack.com/p/claude-is-...

"[…] without UBI, people like this are exceedingly rare. Einsteins are rare. Khns and Kleks are rare. With UBI, they will be less rare. That is not a hope. That is a statistical near-certainty." www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

Hollywood buys the script, not the storyboard. The narrative, world-building, and intent are what get shopped around. As a product guy seemingly surrounded by designers who over-index on visual, interaction, and motion design, I think about this a lot. #productdesign

The absolute lengths we'll go to to avoid admitting something we’ve known for 40 years: the open office layout was a productivity mistake.

We've all experienced this prioritization framework. 😅 #productmanagement

"[…] AI readiness is not primarily a technology capability. It is a leadership discipline: the capacity to decide what should move faster, what should slow down, and who has the authority to know the difference." www.forbes.com/sites/jasonw...

I can barely keep up with helping my mother navigate her multitude of treatments and this really resonates. It’s one thing to feel taken care of by the doctor. It’s another thing to feel taken care of by the healthcare system. www.blog.brittanijamesmd.com/p/why-does-g...

As a parent, I have limited time to sit down and watch/read something. But I do have more time to passively listen to something infotaining. That’s why I enjoy podcasts so much and also why I built Otzio.app.

"Individual labels do nothing for sense-making if the system as a whole defies understanding." productpicnic.beehiiv.com/p/start-desi...

"A picture is worth a thousand words" is the excuse designers get when the written requirements are an unstructured brain dump. When people write like this, they're passing the responsibility of critical thinking to the reader. Writing is a superpower that doesn't get enough credit.

Otzio.app now reads articles in a variety of voices and accents. Also, a cool easter egg for Montrealers: articles begin and end with a soundbite reminiscent of our iconic subway chime. #buildinpublic

Mediocrity trickles down and high-performers won't put up with it. medium.com/@claus.nissl...

"When a tool avoids having an opinion, it pushes that responsibility onto the organization. Decisions fragment. Interpretation becomes local. Alignment erodes." #productmanagement medium.com/analysts-cor...

"Features that had generated excitement in the demo becoming furniture in the product […] That’s not product-market fit. That’s product-market tolerance." wildfirelabs.substack.com/p/shipped-is...

Start all your writing with “Hey, dipshit!” so people know it wasn’t written by AI. Follow me for more writing tips.

I've listened to hundreds of articles and posts in less than 60 days thanks to Otzio.app. And dogfooding your own product means it keeps improving. Now its gotten a little better at extracting X (Twitter) and Medium articles. #buildinpublic

Experienced contributors ask boring questions for clarity, uncovering blind spots, and mitigating risk. Instead of moving fast and breaking things, try not breaking things so you can move fast. www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-ma...

The Boring Internet kinda sums up Otzio.app's origin story. RSS is boring, federated, and indestructible. No platform to justify its own existence, just a protocol that already works. www.terrygodier.com/the-boring-i...

Nobody’s stopping you from using harissa instead of tomato paste.
