Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built The Product Shelf around a problem I kept running into as a Product Manager: you’re constantly surrounded by technical concepts, but most resources either barely scratch the surface or are written for developers. I wanted something in between. The Product Shelf explains topics like APIs, software architecture, SQL, product metrics, observability, security and CI/CD specifically from a Product Manager’s perspective. The goal isn’t to teach PMs how to code. It’s to help us understand what’s happening behind the product, have better conversations with engineers, ask better questions, and make better decisions. What started as one book about APIs has gradually grown into a whole technical learning collection — and I’m continuing to build it. I’d genuinely love to hear from other PMs: **what technical topic have you found hardest to understand in your career?** 👇
