Guess it was inevitable after Joel’s layoff and Stefan’s retirement

Where’s the plug and play software part in all that though
“ingress, which may be via WiFi” => I think that’s your dealbreaker here. If not, a Netgear Orbi 850 setup would just work, no?
That said, if you’re comfortable with Ubiquiti, you should go with them
That’s… actually correct!
We are looking for a (Type 1) Data Scientist, rather urgently. Reach out at team AT @babbageinsight.com!
It is like having an entire team of data analysts working behind the scenes, making sure you focus on what truly matters.
And if you are a veritable genius who does not need that kind of support? Well, Babbage cannot help you there - but drop me a DM and we’d love to chat!
Our generator-verifier framework 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, validates the best ones, and presents you with actionable insights.
And yet, the best product managers still think like the early ones did. They rely on vision, not just validation.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?
There are two ways.
The first is through hard work and research, which takes the time it takes.
Instead of managing teams of PMs, you are expected to be a 𝗷𝗮𝗰𝗸-𝗼𝗳-𝗮𝗹𝗹-𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿, working faster than ever, constantly upskilling, and proving the impact of every decision.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝘁. 𝗡𝗼𝘄, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮.
A decade ago, product management was all about intuition. You understood the business, spotted inefficiencies, and pushed the company forward.
You can analyze data and investigate ideas, but you are inherently limited to the paths you can see.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.
Then everything changed.
Suddenly, every decision had to be justified with numbers. 𝗣𝗠𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲.
Now AI is reshaping the role again.
Same in India. COVID getting people used to testing remote workers, has meant that many top end jobs are now being created in India at US-equivalent salaries, just to avoid the H-1B hassle. Google pays people $250,000+ here, for example
You can set them to be created in 50GB chunks. That’s 36 files
Turn off roaming trivially, then!
All tasty food contains chlorine! And sodium! OH MY GOD
If my entire set of “following” and interests here are data analyst folks… then why does your “Discover” tab still only show me incendiary US political content?
Please be different, @jay.bsky.team.
On the one hand, I just went viral.
On the other hand, I just went viral on… threads.

Anyway, I support H-1B reform. It should not be tied to your employer. It should result in a more-or-less immediate green card.

... or travel outside the US until you get your visa stamping figured out, or have US citizen friends who actually understand how precarious your situation actually is, or... or... or.

👉 On a personal basis, you have no stability whatsoever. It gnaws on you. There’s nobody to blame since you can’t point out that one person who is out to get you. But you can’t buy a house, or find a more mentally stimulating job, or take a work break...

👉 You know somebody just got a green card because they are immediately promoted, often mid-cycle. It’s that blatant.

👉 You ARE underpaid relative to your peers, but not in the way you think. (In my opinion, this was the most insidious problem.) There effectively exist two rungs of employment: worker bee & management. Barring exceptional circumstances, you stay a worker bee until…

I’m a former H-1B visa holder and now US citizen, now living in India.
A few anecdotal thoughts about my H-1B experience:

Vehicle-actuated controllers or something like that. Lights based on sensed traffic volumes. But yeah one more “India is not for beginners” example.
