Doing Product IRL: A guide to shipping great products in the real world

Selfishly, I started writing this for myself. This is the handbook I wish I had on day 1 (and day 1,000) of my career. It would have saved me a lot of time and stress. I originally intended to write this as an ebook. Early feedback has convinced me to publish it progressively, taking you all along the journey with me. If you’ve found yourself in any of the following situations, this series is for you: 1. Drowning in tickets, emails, or comments. 2. Wondering why no one at your company actually gets product. 3. Confused over what you’re supposed to be doing in the first place. 4. Crunching to finish all your “real” work before or after the workday. 5. Losing sleep over an impending deadline with no clear path forward. 6. Frequently arguing with engineers, designers, or stakeholders 7. Refreshing metrics desperately to see if they will magically change. 8. Constantly chasing people down for status updates. 9. Feeling paralyzed by the weight of your responsibilities.
