Embracing Bluesky: A search for authentic dialogue beyond professional networks

LinkedIn is great for professional networking, but where can you have conversations with different people on a wider range of topics? I joined Twitter in 2008, later than many of my peers. Initially, it served as a platform for personal intellectual growth, offering pleasant exchanges focused primarily on computer science, human organisation, design and product management. But the growing awareness of climate issues changed everything. Anger became the dominant tone, and I found myself missing a more constructive environment. I don't want to spend my days in a world full of anger. In search of a new wave of self-improvement and more balanced discussions, I've made the move to: https://bsky.app/profile/lookingforanswers.me  I look forward to connecting with you there for more diverse and enriching conversations.

Music: From Monoculture to Silots

  I recently watched a video titled " What’s a Monoculture? How Artists Are Bigger and Smaller Than Ever " on YouTube, which got me thinking about the shift from music monoculture to silos. This change has significantly impacted how we consume and experience music today. Monoculture and Silos: - Monoculture: This refers to a shared cultural experience where a few artists or pieces of content dominate the global scene. This was more prevalent during the MTV era when music videos and a few popular artists shaped the music landscape. - Silos: In contrast, silos represent the fragmented nature of modern media consumption. Different groups of people are exposed to different content based on their preferences, leading to a more personalized but less universally shared experience.   How Did This Happen? Here is a timeline of the last 70 years of modern music to illustrate this shift: Pre-MTV Era (1950s-1980s): - Music was primarily consumed through radio, records, and live...

The Carbon Footprint of Art: My Reflections After U2 Sphere Concert

A few years ago someone told me about the carbon footprint, with a target of 2 tonnes per person. This influencer listed a few ways I could reduce my global footprint. Since then I have changed a few things in my life to reduce my carbon footprint. I have made my home colder, eaten less meat, cycled to work, driven less, shared car journeys and used green transport. In reality, nothing really changes as I still drink wine and beer, eat cheese and exercise.😋 Last summer I went to a local music festival and someone was talking about the carbon footprint of art. But I had never thought about the carbon footprint of art before, and it really came to my mind with the U2 concert series that started at The Sphere in Las Vegas. The visuals of the concert are amazing . But it made me think again about the carbon footprint of art. So I decided to get an average idea of the carbon emissions of the U2 concert from the travel of the attendees. When I compared this with the annual CO2 emissions of ...

20 Years of Product Management in 25 Minutes

Mind the Product has been doing an awesome job these years. Follow them, watch their contents, the best Product Management ideas are there. Each time someone new in our PM field ask me about where to start, I have too many things in my mind to propose a simple answer. Each time, I tell me, if I tell them the truth, they may say: this is a too difficult position. So, the best way, may be to show them a funny video with the PM core principles: 20 Years of Product Management in 25 Minutes by Dave Wascha. Enjoy Thanks Dave, Thanks Mind the Product.
