The mass #resignation of #engineers, #DataScientists & #ProductManagers is a temporary setback for #Musk & the Republican president’s tech-driven #purge of the federal workforce.

I want to describe the issue of #designers, #developers, and #ProductManagers going into excruciating detail about how they keep getting requests to solve problem X from stakeholders when the stakeholders actually want to accomplish Y, but the former groups are completely unaware that this situation has already been described well and documented at xyproblem.info and are wasting everyone’s time by acting like they have stumbled onto some new insight.

If you manage individual contributor #ProductManagers, you're typically responsible for:

#1. an area of responsibility (a product, or set of product areas — i.e. the superset of all your reports' areas of responsibility), **and**
#2. a team of people (performance, motivation, engagement, careers, ambitions).

If you neglect to take care of #2 and only give attention to #1, you'll eventually fail at #1 too.
