Nice little blog post about product management and vision for bitcoin.
The trick, I’ve learned, is to acknowledge that there’s nothing and no one to “manage” and that the right way to PM in ~bitcoin~grin is just to be as helpful as you can be to others by putting in work that they can’t tackle themselves. (This is the secret to all good PM work, TBH.)
I think this is how the council can “PM” Grin as well. Coordinating across teams and efforts, connecting people, providing support.
Currently, the two product themes with perhaps the highest leverage are (1) simplicity and (2) creativity.
I couldn’t agree more. Grin is of course ultra simple, but I do worry that the simplicity (especially in regards to UX) weakens when we add more things like joins, mixes, contracts, etc. I’m just always thinking in terms of mass adoption and what kind of experience it would take for regular people to not be repulsed.
Creativity is of course desirable. I think we are still working on foundations like multi-sig and some others before we can really claim that we have fertile soil for it though.
