Keep those negative thoughts out of your head. Don't let them in! Kax, you are right to focus on the positives of your situation.

Regarding the pre-release validation: I would focus on communicating the value of the new product and demos of each sprint.

Thanks!

My dream is to be a product manager on one of those plant apps that help people keep them alive. Those are the real heroes.

i also think those apps need really good product people. 😹 they haven't helped me keep my plants alive yet. (unless the problem is really me - which is highly likely hahaha )

True story! I've even killed succulents, which are supposedly easy to raise. XD

"leaning into our strengths provides a much higher ROI on impact vs constantly trying to fill in our gaps" 100%.

Another thing around skills gap - learning not to confuse a steep learning curve with imposter syndrome.

Also, thank you for the shoutout❤️

One of the best pieces of career advice I've heard to date is you don't want to work a role where you meet 100% of the job description; otherwise, you'd get bored super quickly!
