A collection of articles, podcasts, and talks that caught my attention this week.

Product & Strategy

  • John Cutler’s talk on one-pagers — how to communicate product intent without drowning in documentation
  • Marty Cagan on why most product teams fail — the gap between feature teams and empowered product teams
  • How new features add to the operating load of a team — every feature you ship is a feature you maintain

Data & Analytics

  • Data visualisation tips from the Stack Overflow Blog — practical advice for making charts that actually communicate
  • Statistics by Jim — a great site that explains many stats concepts in an approachable way

Engineering

  • The hidden costs of “just add a flag” — feature flags as technical debt
  • Why code review culture matters more than code review tools

These Friday Links posts were a regular habit from 2020-2022. I’m considering bringing them back in a different format.
