Great podcast the story of Twitter from his perspective is invaluable.

The interview was really good! I enjoyed it. Periscope was such a useful tool and infelt it got shit down prematurely

Very nice takeaways. Real practical issues that we all face

Super interesting discussion. By the way, when can we dream of the presence of Andrej Karpathy?

This episode is gold!

Does monetary success really make somebody a "genius"? Or is it just some special faculty to "sell dreams" to investors -- even when never fulfilled (self-driving cars, "free speech" on Twitter). Elisabeth Holmes was also very successful in selling dreams.

A question to the people working in sillicon valley: Without being bias, how do you see the role of product managers going for the upcoming years? Is the role really somehow dying as some people on Reddit assert? What about the salary? I feel like it is not on the same level as Software engineers anymore.

I like Marty Cagan's views on this subject. To me personally, the PM role as it's been defined and put in practice for the last 10 years, is redundant and inefficient when it comes to creating value in product teams. Many of them really believe they "own" the product, and that right there is part of the problem. A project must have all the builders (product managers, designers and engineers) engaged and on the same page to deliver the desired outcomes in a project. As a PM, you're mistaken if you think the scope of your contributions is to create roadmaps, feature lists, PRDs, hang out on MixPanel, and tell people what to do without context, especially if you like to do all of that "discovery" in a silo. I have worked in the past with PMs where they simply won't talk to me as the lead designer. I blame the top-down "culture" to build software in these companies. Mediocre PMs is a key reason why so many projects fails, and the reason so many team members are not engaged and eventually quit to work for companies that truly understand the role of a PM and how they can enable product teams to create value to customers.I seen this happened in different organizations who call themselves "a design-centric organization". The amount of waste before realizing the project must be shutdown is insane, both time and money.

Kayvon did a stellar job at Twitter

Twitter never had a business model. Still does not.

Third

Elon and his antics is the reason why I stopped paying attention to and consuming content on Twitter. I rarely use the thing.
