You've done so well since the last time that I visited and appreciate the opportunity to share with you my current thing.

Yeah, be a lot shorter of an episode if we just talked about what didn't change.

Wow.

That says a lot.

Maybe I'll start with this.

I think that when we first chatted, it was like maybe the end of COVID, I think.

The ZERP era, as we call it, zero interest, kind of free money from investors was just kind of cresting.

We talked about how ICs are now more in demand.

We talked about how these first round of layoffs are existing, that ex-growth companies are going to be a struggle.

But if you really talk to product leaders that were kind of in that mode maybe three years ago, they weren't very happy.

And what I mean by that is their day was largely a day of moving information from one to another.

Let me frame that.

the way that my team is presenting the information to my boss so that that person can frame it to their boss's boss.

And generally the function had become extremely focused on responsibility without authority.

And so that is the greatest form of workplace stress.

Now, we don't talk about that.

We talk about all the stresses that we have today.

Boy, AI is going to replace our function, et cetera, et cetera.

But the honest truth is, if you think back, if you've been in product for a handful of years, that was a tough time.

Now, people were being paid well.
