I liked it quite a bit.
We have managed to built a trio but the technical components is missing - we do PM, Designer & Analyst and at times I underestimate the complexity of a solution.
Damn, I don't have to do the solutions! I don't have to care about timely deliveries!
The majority of Product Managers in Eastern Europe are agile project managers at best.
What an ugly environment to exist in. I need a drink.

I definitely haven't heard of them. Why would I care about some DVD rental in Iowa if we have got Uber? or Tesla? Or Airbnb for God's sake. This part - the examples - always makes you think that there are people writing books and Product people making cool products happen.
These are different people and examples like 'Jim's Car Wash' make this book lose its credibility.
