Controversial idea: ban the word "MVP" from Product Manager discourse.

While we are at it, any PM who uses the word "scrappy" should be banished to the salt mines.

MVP (original sense): the simplest thing that could possibly work

MVP (reality): something that takes just as long as a full feature, with all the usual scope creep, but we'll skimp on testing, proper design and code quality to shovel it out the door.

"Scrappy": an MVP, but I'll change my mind every other day like I'm some auteur movie director rather than someone who can't be bothered doing research

Sunak getting drenched in a downpour while someone in the crowd plays "Things Can Only Get Better" is Alan Partridge level.

"Sunak says there will be a general election in the second half of the year"

Does that make Taylor Swift 3x or 4x bigger than Jesus if the Beatles were 2x bigger than Jesus

Sunak kneecapping the universities in an election year only makes sense if your only remaining loyal demographic is also the most ignorant and worst educated.

The problem is that technology (in all spheres) cannot advance quickly enough that modern management, economics and politics will catch up with and destroy all those advances.

Consider why Boeing, with its incredible technical heritage, can't make safe planes any more, or even a small tech startup gets bogged down in Scrum meetings and OKRs.

Apparently Columbus Day was made a national or state holiday in the US to make Italian-Americans happy.

But why, when far better Italian role models exist, such as Mario, Luigi or Joe Dolce?

"You've disregarded all the warnings we've given you, you've gone on squandering the money your father left you, and you're getting us animals a bad name in the district by your furious driving and your smashes and your rows with the police."

TIL the last U-Boat sinking of WW2 was in April 1945: in the Firth of Forth in Scotland when a Norwegian freighter was sunk.

Some of the U-Boats were out of communication with German high command and didn't know their country had surrendered.

@lizzard I grew up on the coast there. I think Firth is an old Scottish word related to the Scandinavian fjord.
