    Mental models help people navigate the world by turning complex experiences into familiar patterns and shortcuts. This article explores how designers use mental models to create intuitive products, drawing on examples such as the London Underground map, desire paths, and everyday interface conventions. The central argument is that great design begins with understanding how users already expect the world to work.

    I spent a year building AI skills for my product team. The technical part was the easy half. Adoption was the actual problem, and the lessons I got from it weren't the ones I expected.
    Three skills are still in active use: a feature-breakdown skill, an A/B rollout skill, and a multi-agent landing page generator. Three got deleted: a status update writer, an "agentic master" planner, and a roadmap prioritization helper. What stuck and what didn't came down to people, not the model.

    Product managers often fall into the "Ship and Pray" trap, building features that fail to gain adoption. Success requires identifying a "foothold customer"—real people facing acute pain willing to provide time, data, or access for an unpolished solution. Avoid false "affirmation" from buyers; instead, seek "validation" from end-users to ensure your product solves actual human problems.

  • The Case for PMs Owning Infrastructure

    The orthodoxy that product managers should "stay strategic" and leave infrastructure to engineering is one of the most damaging beliefs in modern product development. PMs who understand and own infrastructure decisions ship faster, build better products, and make fewer costly mistakes. PMs with technical depth generally ship well rounded features than "strategy only" counterparts which means the gap between knowing your system and not knowing it shows up directly in your feature quality and your user experience.
