Product R&D engineer here. I have a product manager who only knows how to give one piece of feedback: make it smaller and slimmer. What requirement is driving this? Can't say. What user need are we trying to address? No idea. But smaller=better for some reason.

One thing people who don't build products tend to imagine is that PMs are constantly doing market research, data analysis, focus groups, etc.
That may be true at some companies, but IME they can be clueless beyond belief because their real job is to be salespeople. They sell dreams to executives. Whether those will actually sell is a much lower concern.

Crusty jugglers!
Thinner until I can shave with this thing.
At least they'd be adding a function to a phone for once.
You're gonna have to hone it to keep its edge. Wonder if it'll come with vendor locked honing stones
Fuck that person. They don't need to exist.
