  A whole class of product managers built a career on politics rather than on technical or customer skill, and that skill is now worth nothing.

  Their words

  there's definitely a group of PMs and I certainly used to be one of them earlier in my career whose specialty wasn't technical or customer-oriented, it was politics.

  Transit-oriented development should be defined by walking distance to rail stations, not by zoning along arterial street corridors.

  Their words

  The reason is simple: TOD doesn't care about corridors but about the underlying transit, which is a subway, not a bus stopping every block.

  Moving the computation to where the data lives is the fundamental design move in object-oriented programming, and it got lost in the noise.

  Their words

  So a a big challenge in object-oriented programming is dividing the responsibilities because you're moving the computation to where the data is. Saying, "Well, this object does this and that object does that is a really critical decision because you want to you want the computation near to the data so that there's less coupling between them." which is a lesson that I I think uh kind of got lost in the noise. That's the fundamental design move in ob in designing object-oriented programs and I I think I stand behind that.

  It is far too soon for a manifesto about AI development: the Agile Manifesto took fifteen years of object-oriented practice before anyone could write it.

  Their words

  which is why when I see manifestos today I'm just like too soon. Not a bad idea. Would love to have one just too soon. It took 15 years for the technical change of object-oriented programming to come before we could say here are the consequences of it. Here's how in a simple way we can express how to effectively use this technology that we've been using day in and day out for 15 years. The genie comes along. People are like, "Well, what's the new manifesto? It's just not manifesto time yet.

  Transformed: Moving to the Product Operating Model

  Their words

  The third book in Cagan’s trilogy, this one focuses on how companies can transform their cultures from project- to product-oriented. This book is probably less useful for the individual contributor, but it offers hope for anyone trapped in a feature team that something better is possible. Buy it for your boss or CEO.

  Small changes only compound when they are oriented toward a larger outcome; otherwise they evaporate rather than accumulate.

  Their words

  are your small actions accumulating or are they evaporating? You know, are you doing small things each day that are oriented toward a larger outcome or are you doing small things each day that are just kind of like one-offs and don't really add up? In a lot of ways, I feel like the two time frames that matter most in life are 10 years and 1 hour

  A people manager needs enough technical depth to follow discussions and judge debates without relying on trust, but not the deepest technical expertise on the team.

  Their words

  The bar I typically suggest is that the people manager doesn't need to have the most technical depth on the team, but they need enough depth that they can follow most discussions without slowing them down, understand who's correct in most debates without needing to rely on trust, and generally stay oriented easily.
