The Management Task everyone should know The management task is to track these attempts and prevent quality degradation. The freed-up time is redistributed. • In a messenger aggregator with a 10-person sales team: a salesperson saves time by skipping one of ten actions (qualifying question, CRM), the client may end up in the wrong segment and miss an upsell opportunity. • A product researcher can check 8 out of 10 competitors, claiming there are none left, when there actually are. • A mobile developer submits a build based on visual estimation rather than the design. All of this is fixable, but if it becomes a culture — the product degrades. Without oversight, the company also degrades. © Monopoly

Рынок развлечений уже 10 лет идёт к короткому потреблению: рилсы, шортсы, ютуб, мобильные игры — всё через телефон. Гаджеты дешевеют; пример — дешевый айфон, и многие не видят смысла в Pro версии. VR кажется против рынка: лишние гаджеты отмирают, продать даже iPad трудно. Потребление остаётся за счёт смартфона — он в кармане. Шлемы носить будут лишь гики, которым тоже лень. У VR много логических проблем в CJM. На деле VR живёт на рынке венчурного капитала: капитал ищет выход, и сейчас нашёл его в Apple Vision Pro. © Monopoly

Когда вы отписываетесь от плейлистов/акаунтов в YouTube, но рекомендации остаются — это коллаборативная фильтрация. Когда кампании приводят новых пользователей — тоже она. Коллаборативная фильтрация (CF) — паттерн в системах рекомендаций. Как работает: • Есть пользователи с похожим поведением — их объединяют в кластеры. • Есть контент, который нравится этим пользователям — его тоже кластеризуют. • Пользователь видит контент, подобранный его кластером. • Таких кластеров тысячи. Как использовать: • У каждого свой онлайн-бабл. При исследовании рынка пользуйтесь чистыми аккаунтами. • Не тестируйте на старом телефоне — используйте чистое устройство. • Используйте анонимный поиск, чтобы сравнить результаты по одному запросу. • Интернет сложнее, чем кажется; смотрите на него через призму пузырей. © Monopoly

Is it worth developing a new mobile app? Is now the right time to create a mobile app? The goal is high value to drive revenue, which requires a platform that can: • Support complex, high-quality products • Enable many interactions and keep users engaged • Be a platform users know and use daily The two best platforms are: • Mobile applications and Desktop web Those that don’t fit: Telegram apps/bots, Discord servers, mobile web. There are no real alternatives for a full-fledged product. Market notes: • Mobile apps are saturated; CPMs and install costs are high • 80% of products don’t clarify audience/value • Many copy competitors; few offer comprehensive, mobile-first solutions • Few have full marketing funnels or extend beyond mobile growth Bottom line: there is work ahead. Advertising costs are high, tracking is poor, organic reach is small—but these are signs of a competitive, lucrative market. © Monopoly

Work-life balance: the author's principles. Achieving a work-life balance can be challenging, but with the right approach, it is possible to enjoy work while staying happy. • Work a lot. This principle is clear, but it often means sacrifice. • Work with pleasure. There are no reasons to turn life into suffering with 12-hour days. Instead, make work interesting, diverse, and fun: – Gather at 10 a.m. on Saturday for breakfast with ceiling stucco, and discuss the week. – Have strategic sessions in the mountains, preferably with a lake and ducks view. – Create a great office where you don't want to leave after 2 hours. – Use modern equipment, avoiding outdated gear. – Approach work with humor, and push away complainers. – Incorporate sports into work, like jogging along the embankment while discussing issues. – Travel with a laptop in style, like in a Maybach, not in economy. The goal is to make work better than home. If you work hard, don't make it harder for yourself. © Monopoly

Urgent Motivation Against Procrastination: What Would You Do in an Emergency Sometimes we get stuck in the search for perfect solutions. We research, ask experts, hesitate. But when nature calls, we just go and do it. If it's urgent, we become the most determined people. Once, I was stuck in a traffic jam and didn’t care what others thought. That moment taught me something important. Now, when my work stalls or goals aren’t met, I ask myself: How would I act if I really needed to go to the toilet? The quickest solution always comes to mind. © Monopoly

An Interesting Observation About Jokes in an IT Company A surprising insight.
