This is so cringe.

I hope it doesn't become a trend on this site.


A team taking the opportunity to engage directly with their users to understand their feedback so they can improve the product? So cringe.
Google usually doesn't care what users say at all. This is why they so often have product-crippling bugs and missing features. At least this guy is making a show of trying before he transfers to another project.
It’s the US style, which has made its way across the pond too: you have to make upbeat noises to remove any suspicion you’re criticizing.
Unlike others ... you got it.

It is incredibily lame for a gargantuan company like Google and their thousands of developers and PMs and this and that ... to come to a remote corner of the web to pretend they are doing what they should have done 10 years ago.

Google should have cleaned up its Gemini API 10 years ago?
>Chat, briefly, what does a PM at a company like Google do?

"A Product Manager (PM) at Google is responsible for guiding the development of products from conception to launch. They identify user needs, define product vision and strategy, prioritize features, work with cross-functional teams (engineering, design, marketing), and ensure the product aligns with business goals. They act as the bridge between technical teams and stakeholders to deliver successful, user-focused solutions."

Some might have ignored your question, but in the spirit of good conversation, I figured I’d share a quick explanation of what a PM does, just in case it helps!

This sounds accurate. I see myself as a Pain Manager more than a Product manager. Product just solves the pain that users have ;)

Sometimes we get it right the first time we launch it, I think most of the time we get it right over a period of time.

Trying to do a little bit better everyday and ship as fast as possible!
