Ask HN: Switch from physical product management to software product management?
I am looking to make the transition to product management at a software company, but I haven't gotten many calls back. In interviews, I am always tripping up on questions related specifically to the software development process. I've spent a lot of time learning about agile and lean, I am technically inclined, and I've successfully developed and launched new products and managed product portfolios. Perhaps I need experience working on a software team, but I'm not sure how to get more experience?

I've searched HN for previous product manager advice, but nothing specifically addresses making this transition. Has anyone made a similar transition? Any advice?
I quite enjoyed this book because it gave insight into the hard work and dedication that characterised many individuals, such as Max Levchin, the co-founder of Paypal.

As an aside, I also recommend Hatching Twitter by Nick Bilton. This book details the tumultuous roller-coaster ride that was the early days of Twitter. I feel it is an essential read to truly understand the mentality, minds and drive of many within the start-up world.
Emacs has TRAMP, which allows transparent access to files on remote systems using a variety of protocols (but mostly ssh/sftp).

If Google refused to work with our military, Microsoft's subpar AI and ethics would power the drones and the project would move ahead.
There is a certain amount of inflating expectations going on, IMO. I'd bet a lot of the people who worked their way through college, went to community college. Also, even comparing like for like- my father attended Berkeley in the 60's. I think he'd be one of the first to tell you it wasn't quite the same world-famous ultra-elite school kids are applying to today.

Similar to complaints about how one's parents were able to afford a house in Silicon Valley, why can't I? Well, gee, fifty years ago Silicon Valley was an orchard.
I thought it a notable omission.
Because it tells you that's what "society" thinks of you. And that will affect your day-to-day life.

It affects folks in the same way learning that a lot of folks on Reddit/HN like to Haskell. "Oh hey I didn't know Haskell was so popular"
When I see a resume of someone who has had 8 jobs in 3 years I immediately think "liability". You won't deeply learn anything. You won't be able to think long term. I won't be able to give you an important project because you likely won't be around by the time it hits market and needs to be shepherded to success.

Your job hopping is only going to work for so long. If I were you I would focus on building up your staying power in order to make meaningful changes that businesses need from their higher level employees.
Speaking as an automotive mechanic, This works well in the front-of-shop according to our manager. Tires, while a staple of the garage area, are for some reason kept on proud display in the windows and in the customer area of the shop. This isnt because customers like to look at tires, its because the smell apparently is found to be reassuring by the customer.

Weird displays for exotic fluids are another good example...we have one where a customer turns a wheel to "feel" the viscosity of a motor oil versus a high-end brand. It doesnt translate into any substantial performance gains for the car frankly, as the engine is operating hundreds of degrees hotter than our shop, but the customer applies this experience to the car for some reason.

we also use an interactive display for steering fluid to show customers a performance fluid, but nobody stops to consider most steering systems these days are hydraulically assisted.

I don't know if I'd be that aggressive about it, but parent is correct that you likely own the IP. An NDA is not a consulting agreement, and it would be very unusual for an NDA to assign copyright or declare work product to be a work-for-hire. This gives you a lot of leverage. They want you to give something back because they think you have nothing to take back from them. What you have is way more valuable than the back wages (which are very likely in violation of federal employment law as you've described your situation.)

Seriously, talk to a lawyer. Best money you'll ever spend.
My way is fully democratic because you've forgotten you are voting on a list of things, not a single thing.

What you like about list A can easily get traded away after the election by politicians when you have no say.

However is list A has to be approved before an election, then you get everything on that list and you know what you are going to get.
Reddit? Voat is completely unusable to me because every comment is tainted with a racist agenda. It is inescapable across their whole site.
That’s probably what’s going to happen with scooters and bikes. I’m not convinced with cats yet though. I got some stuff that I want to be permanently in the car.

EDIT: I meant cars ;-) but it’s so funny, I just leave it as is
> First, I was more likely to respect traffic laws on a scooter than on a bike, because I wasn’t as worried about conserving my momentum on a scooter.

This jab at cyclists should be properly taken as representing solely the author's attitude in the role of cyclist.

A scooter rider who is late would have motivation to break the rules.

All wheeled vehicles, regardless of whether they are motorized, as well as pedestrians, break the rules from time to time.
I used to feel similarly about guided missiles during Operation Allied Force (when the US inadvertantly struck the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia).

My opinion on the topic has not translated into a reduction in automated warfare as a policy. On the plus side, independent of my opinion, technology has moved forward so that given similar circumstances, the embassy would at least have a chance that a drone pilot would realize during visual confirmation that the target has a big Chinese flag out front.
I've ridden Bird scooters (which are just a modified version of this [1]) quite a few times in San Francisco, and while they can usually accelerate a little faster from a stop than most cyclists do, I've found it easy to just match acceleration with the cyclist in front of me. On flat ground you'll probably end up cruising at a similar speed to most cyclists, though there are certainly outliers in both directions.

Great tool. How does it work? I mean how does the script know the exact position the video player is currently playing?
This is not what the author is talking about. In this case the scooter is a small item that weighs 10 lbs, not a mini-motor cycle.

I'm not saying it's all luck. Hard work is important. Luck is also important. It's pointless to argue over which is more important in my opinion.

However, a lot of successful people (including the person I was originally responding to) downplay the role that luck plays and exaggerate the role that hard work plays.

Certainly more than one way to do this, but I agree with Bryan.

Highly targeted email lists are scaleable enough and there is plenty of tech to make them more personal than ever. I disagree a great deal with the idea that cold respondents "end up kicking tires." 100% of my marketing is cold email. 100% of the marketing I do for clients is cold email. I'm happy with my ROI and so are they.

I was just listening to an interview with Elon Musk where he discussed the importance of reasoning from first principles as opposed to by analogy. The author of this wired article would benefit from taking that lesson to heart.

The Wired article is reasoning "by analogy". 4chan is like a teenager, or the soul of the internet, or the id of the internet, or whatever. Then, the author draws spurious conclusions based on those analogies. If 4chan is like a teenager, and it is fifteen years old, then surely it should be time for it to start getting more mature - right?

On the other hand, if you reason from first principles you see that the reporter's conclusions are nonsense. If you start with some basic assumptions - like that the culture of a web community is influenced by the mechanics of that community, you can conclude that 4chan is unlikely to change. 4chan is unlikely to change, not because it is in some psychological period of arrested development the way some human teens may be, 4chan is unlikely to change because the mechanics of how the board work are unlikely to change.

The behaviors on 4chan are better explained by the mechanics of the community than by psychological analogies. No registration. No persistent identities (or at least rarely used and abstruse persistent identities). No sorting of threads or replies. No persistence of threads or comments. Threads live or die based on the responses they attract and not any measure of quality.

The mechanics of 4chan, or any web community, influence how the users behave and not the age of the community. That's because 4chan is a web community and not a human teenager.
What's the betting someone pushed something to production on a Friday afternoon and has now gone to the pub?
> I think this is also because no one really teaches you how to interview. Giving multiple interviews doesn't, at least IMHO make you knowledgeable to be on the other side.

This is something that I have ameliorated in my teams in the following way: When an Engineer is going to start interviewing people he goes through the following process:

0. Before starting, we provide some guidance on what we look in interviews and what we ask (1 hour meeting with the new wannabe interviewer and the manager)

1. First he shadows an interview done by a Tech Lead or Sr. Engineer (those are the ones that generally do the interviews)

2. Then he does two interviews, where he asks the questions but is shadowed by a Tech Lead of Sr. Engineer. He gets feedback about his interviews and is asked to explain his feedback and we tune it to the expectations from the team.

3. Finally he starts interviewing people on his own.

This has worked well enough for me, specially once we had a shared GDocs with a) The list of questions to ask (along with notes on what to look for and how to guide guys) and b) A "competency matrix" ( like http://sijinjoseph.com/programmer-competency-matrix/ ) tailored to what we were looking for.

Finally, one of the things I always emphazise the people that is interviewing for my team, is to remember how they felt during interviews. And be aware that as interviewer ALWAYS you have the upper hand. I hate being interviewed, I hate the feeling there, and the fact that you have 60-90 mintues to demonstrate that you know what the company is choosing to ask you, without regards of all other stuff you know that will be useful for the position, but they don't ask. And the nerves.
Okay, with this comment your comment on preferring C++(11?) and pybind11 [1] I think I am finally getting your angle. Let’s see if I can bridge the perspectives.

If I am reading you correctly, you are a library builder, an infrastructure creator, and comfortable caring about the bottom line when it comes to performance. You most likely prototype an algorithm in some high-level language, ensuring that it works, then push it down into C++ in order to make it scale to cool problems, lastly you may create bindings to a higher level programming language so that others without your C++ acumen can benefit from your labour. A lot of great code is written this way, some that I rely on in my day-to-day work would be OpenBLAS, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.

I can only really speak for myself, but I know that there are many like me, we are researchers and to us code is only incidental. We are judged based on our ability to churn out as many papers and results as possible, in as little time as is humanly possible (ever wondered why academic code can be absolutely awful?). We rarely know the structure of the solution a-priori, rather, we start throwing techniques at things and try to make the experiments run. At some point, a (wild?) performance bottleneck appears and we just want to get around it as soon as possible. Now, some like myself have been in the Python/Cython world for years and you can get around a lot of bottlenecks this way. However, it comes at the expense of additional boilerplate and mastering which parts of the Python programming model you must throw overboard, not to mention how you make your Cython code interact with pure Python code from libraries that others have written. This is where Julia shines, it allows you to much easier go between this “productive” and “performance” mode, to me, this is worth its weight in gold. It is not for everyone, but if I ever have a law named after me I would be happy if it was “Nothing is for everyone”.

I had, it's not what I'm saying though.

I'm saying that prioritising money makes you unhappy. It's a toxic culture where only a few make it. Author is saying those few still aren't happy.

Subtle distinction but I think I'm going much further.
When you say you're seeing 10% decline rates, is that out of your total transactional volume (which I suspect is the case), or just out of the subset of your customer who actually have bona fide Visa credit cards?
To be fair I can't comment on POS/in-person transaction rates. All I have visibility into is online purchases with VISA cards on our site.

This is a lost cause, like "hacker" and "MiB" and "literally".
Living in SF I think this is totally false. I see a bike on the street once in a blue moon (and it’s often someone riding extremely slow). Bikes literally don’t fit on most sidewalks and there are extremely clear bike lanes. Plus you can’t pick up much speed before reaching an obstacle.

I consistently see people zooming down the sidewalks on scooters because: they fit, they accelerate quickly, and they are often too slow to be in the bike lane. Personally I think this was the massive failure by these scooter companies. No one is riding them in the streets. They are on the sidewalk going 10+mph. I really don’t think people would be quite as upset if they weren’t constantly dodging scooters going down the sidewalk.
Since the title and abstract neglected to mention it:
The FDA ruled in September 2016 that Triclosan is no longer Generally Regarded As Safe/Effective, and as of September 2017, you can't get antimicrobial washes that contain it in the US.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triclosan

It's common, but we've already started taking big steps to limit its use. This is a good thing.
My dream is that between these and electric bikes, we get critical mass for real, separated bike lanes on all major roads in most US cities. Taking away a lane of cars and replacing it with one for bikes/scooters vastly improves the quality of life for both drivers and cyclists, if you can get high-enough utilization. The cyclists will be safer, and there will be less traffic in the remaining lanes because fewer commuters will be in cars.

I commute 9 miles one way into SF by electric bike, and while I love my commute my quality of life would be so much higher if I didn't have to worry about merging with car traffic at several points on the route, or (much worse) cars randomly swerving out of traffic into the bike lane and stopping right in front of me to drop off a passenger or whatever.

The founder of Open Philanthropy claims to have sought out the most effective uses of charity money in the entire world, and it happens to include paying his roommate and brother-in-law to think about AI.

The big problem with this decision isn't that it's mistaken, it's that it's corrupt. He should have excluded things that were in his self-interest from consideration, even if he honestly, mistakenly believes they are the best thing anyone can do with their money.

That's actually questionable now since Hiroshima bought the site. Some weird scripts were added that were heavily obfuscated and killed the CSS if you didn't let them run. Luckily the innate computer paranoia of /g/ meant this was caught and worked around in less than a day, but it's still pretty sleazy.
