Product engineers

Douglas Pereira

Own the outcome

  • The ticket is a guess
  • Talk to the person who feels the pain
  • Measure something, even if it is crude

Design is not a handoff

  • Sit with the blank state
  • Copy is part of the interface
  • If it is awkward to use, it is not done

Full stack is a direction

  • Enough backend to ship the feature
  • Enough frontend to not hide behind "that's design"
  • Ask for help without throwing the problem over the wall

Taste is the differentiator

  • Lots of people can make it work
  • Fewer people can make it obvious
  • That is the job now
