Ask HN: What makes a good Product Manager

chairhairair — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 15:27:25 +0000

The tech PM role is… difficult to define, but we’ve all worked with good PMs and bad PMs - it’s usually quite quick to tell where someone falls on the spectrum once you’ve worked with them for a few weeks. But, I find it difficult to describe the difference.

"This way, I can enjoy YouTube ad-free and without an account."

Not having the gumption to actually give it up. Pathetic.

“no concern of repercussion”

Your worldview is outdated. There are obviously risks to signing this. Get your head out of the sand.

Upside: your employees don’t have to use WorkDay.

Downside: your employees’ agents decide that they should collectively bargain.

Never trust Sam Altman.

Even if yall don’t train off it he’ll find some other way.

The point is not that Wikipedia is completely unbiased. That's an obvious impossibility - for any encyclopedia.

The point is that accusations of "noticeable bias on any topic that has political implications" is the kind of accusation made by someone simply trying to sow distrust in information, writ large. It's increasingly common.

Being asked for an example or two isn't weird.

Brilliant work. These kinds of posts should be bannable.

This is fodder for right wing populists. Well-meaning environmentalists and animal-rights ethicists desperately need to keep this stuff to themselves.

Maybe? He said “Asian AI guy”, which is pretty weird.

Then he went on to claim this bizzaro video has “been quite informative.” When it’s definitely an AI slop pumping mechanism.

TBH his comment is probably part of the campaign.

Jack Lance was, based on his output in such a short time, obviously a genius.

I see many individual games (or even just standalone puzzles, even just puns!) of his and I'm genuinely envious of how clever they are.

It hurts to think about what he could have created if he was still around.
