A bit of introduction about myself. I run a software company. We are called Patri 365. And we do a kind of chat aggregation for a lot of social platforms, like Facebook and Line. So in real terms, that translates to a lot of workload. And that's over the past seven years, I've been experimenting with a lot of deployment solutions and operations, operational stacks that is able to serve this kind of quite high requirement in terms of when we started off, we were doing it all pretty manually. And with a $5 a month VPS hosted on digital ocean, and gradually that became insufficient. And we had to grow the server farm kind of organically. And so we adopted a lot of open source technologies. So I'm going to be talking about some of them. And some of the solutions here, some of them are the things that you can experiment. And some of them are platform or Azure services that we also have been fortunate enough to be working with. So these are what the present requirements look like. We have like 600 requests per second in coming. And all this is hammering at the servers all the time. So the requirement is also that we need to deploy constantly new versions of our software. And they need to be updated about once a day, which translates to about five times a week deployed with zero downtime. And the requirement is also that the cluster needs to be basically fault-tolerant. So if any one particular server goes down, the entire cluster must keep operating. And the load must be shifted to other servers instead. So those are the key challenges that we face. The first one being that the deployment has to be repeatable. So you know exactly the configuration, the dependency that leads to that kind of setup. Back before we started, deployment used to be, if you go back 10 years, it used to be that deployment is you install whatever software and library on the server machine that matches your development machine. So that means if your software requires a certain library, the exact version of the library needs to be installed as well on the production machine so that once the application code requires it, it also loads. The scalable one is also a very fancy requirement. It used to be that. So suppose you have a load that looks like this. During peak load, you want to be able to scale up your server farm to accommodate more traffic. During idle loads, you want to scale down the server to be able to take advantage of the cost saving, which is one of the primary reasons for adopting the cloud in first place. And finally, the third challenge is how to engineer a cluster that is robust and fault tolerant to a degree that it kind of detects the failure in the system, in any part in the system, and it shifts the traffic to somewhere else. So what's happened in the last 10 years? Docker is kind of a revolution when it comes to this space. Before Docker, we used to have something called Chef or Puppet or Ansible, which is kind of a configuration management stack on a machine. So basically, instead of this is a movement that's also called configuration as code, basically, instead of installing software and libraries one by one until your server is capable of serving all the libraries and dependencies, you are instead listing the exact configuration, the dependencies, and the versions that is required in order to bring the server up to a repeatable state that is optimal for your software. No, I'm good. And this leads to a second philosophy that's never happened before, which is we are treating servers as cattle not pets. So what's the difference between pets and cattle? The difference is that when your pet is sick, you take them to a vet.  So that's how we do with servers nowadays. Once you have a repeatable configuration, if a server is starting to misbehave, the internal state has gone wrong. The file system has become full with any other particular reason that you haven't anticipated in advance. What happens is you just shut down the server, you terminate the configuration, and you rebuild a new server from scratch to replace the one that you just lost. So with Docker, this contract will define and become the boundary in between the developers and the ops team can work. So developers are working with stuff inside the containers, and ops team are responsible for maintaining the uptime of this container. So recently, Docker is usually good for the very small scale kind of operation. But once you expand to more than one machine to a cluster of like 5, 10, maybe 1,000 machines, then you need something more advanced. Actually, a lot of people would be saying that this talk is kind of unnecessary. Because in 2019, the enterprise will have standardized on Kubernetes, which is a deployment manager, like an orchestration for Docker. So basically, if Docker defines the boundary between dev and ops, Kubernetes is the tool that exists exclusively in the ops realm and kind of takes care of making sure that your deployment is running smoothly. It has a plug-in for everything. So you can make it do large cluster stuff. You can make it all the scale. You can integrate it with any kind of software and service and stack that you have. But I think, in my opinion, it's kind of an overkill to, if you are anything short of a large enterprise to be adopting Kubernetes as the first choice, because it creates a more problem than you previously had. So in this talk, I'm trying to explore the middle ground between having a homegrown solution and having enterprise Kubernetes. So to see if there's something in between that kind of fits most small scale companies and teams that don't require, that don't have full time ops people to be running a complicated cluster. Yeah, that's what Kubernetes feels like sometimes. Some of you have played with this before. I will totally understand. The configuration is really taken to the concept of configuration as code. It's really taken to an extreme here, in which you have YAML files defined for everything. But it's worth noting that Kubernetes, while it takes care of the orchestration of containers, it doesn't actually do auto scaling in the sense that it's auto. So basically, you need to manually tinker with the scaling parameters. You need to tell them at a certain point, at a certain level, where the CPU gets high enough load, you want to add more instances to the cluster. And you still need to interface with the underlying infrastructure of API. Like if you're on AWS, you want to be talking to the Amazon API to add new instances to the cluster. If you're on this or if you're on Google Cloud and it's similar, you need to be talking to the cloud providers. So it doesn't automatically abstract that away from you. So on the opposite end of the spectrum, there's also another movement that they call serverless, and which is kind of a misnomer, because everybody knows that the server exists somewhere. But the idea is that you don't need to think about servers. So if you come from a programming background, mostly all you think about, mostly all you do is code and not the configuration part. So serverless kind of fulfills that demand in a way that you only think about your code and the functions, the parameters that it receives, the output that it gives, and not how it runs, not how it scales up and scales down. So if you think about how the cloud computing movement has commoditized the physical infrastructure to the degree that you don't need to think about when you're spinning up a cloud instance, you don't think about where in the world is happening right now. With serverless, it's the virtual infrastructure, the cloud platform that's being commoditized. So if you want to run a piece of code, you don't think about where in the world or where in the logical cluster that this code is going to be executed. The platform guarantees that this code is going to be executed with a well-defined contract, like within a reasonable timeframe. And they are going to build you at the end of the month exactly for how exactly seconds that you consume in order to run the code. Some of the most popular serverless platforms right now they are AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions. So they kind of fulfill this promise in a way. And I believe this movement is going to become very important because as more and more people realize that the virtual infrastructure also can be commoditized, this is going to scale down really well towards solo developers or really small team that don't need to be managing their own infrastructure. So I have deployed some serverless applications before that kind of run. They've been ongoing for three or four years with essentially zero maintenance. So if you've run any kind of infrastructure before, even either physical or virtual, you will find that this is kind of difficult to accomplish in practice because what's happening in the practical world is that there are things that you need to do to avoid platform rot. There are things like you need to keep updating your OS. You need to maintain your firewall configuration. You need to make sure that the disk isn't full and the server doesn't deteriorate to a state where it's incapable of running your app anymore. But with serverless, all that is abstracted away. And you can write a code once and you can leave it running on the server and forget about its existence for many years until at some point you need to touch that software again. So in between both extremes, there exists something that's kind of up and coming as recently as last year called serverless container platforms. So that's not a well-defined name yet. But it's basically like if you marry the serverless platforms and the container platforms like Kubernetes together, you get something kind of like AWS Fargate or Google Cloud Run. That is they shift the boundary so that you can also the limitations of serverless is you need to be running or you need to be writing code in the exact configuration that the platform has been written to support. Like, for example, it usually needs to be JavaScript. It usually needs to be Node.js. And it needs to be running the versions that the platform providers are providing. On the other hand, with Docker, you get the freedom and flexibility to choose the version of the software that you want. So as we said, and as we talked about in the beginning, the exact stack of PHP, of Python, of the library that your software requires is going to be installed in your Docker container because you write the code just so. With serverless container platforms, you get that kind of freedom and flexibility. But you also don't need to worry about how that container is going to be operating in the virtual infrastructure. Once you point the platform to the container, the platform is going to be responsible for scaling this up and down for terminating the instances that are misbehaving and for billing you for the exact container second that your containers are spending. So I think this is kind of a very good middle ground between both worlds. And when you need to have some control over your deployment platform, but also you don't want to be micromanaging the other scaling parameters, yeah. So essentially, to conclude, we covered different paradigms of managing deployments on the whole spectrum. So on one end, you can do at least if you don't, one thing that people don't do anymore is they spin up a server and they treat them as pets. So that's one thing that needs to go away. But if you move onto the spectrum of cattle, that's one end you would want to be micromanaging and defining the parameters manually. You want to use things like Docker. Or once you scale up, you use Kubernetes. On the other end, you want to be using something that only exists to manage your code and you don't need to think about anything else. You'd be running on serverless. And in the middle, you want to be meeting somewhere with containers where you have the flexibility to define the kind of stack that your application requires. But you don't need to be thinking about how to scale up and down at full tolerance. You want to use container platforms like Farget and Google Cloud Run. So that's it for my talk today. So thank you for coming. And if you have any questions, I'll be happy to talk about them. So what is the advantage of container platform serverless versus normal serverless? What is the use case? I mean, lew use case. So with normal serverless platforms, especially if you look at some of the newer ones, like Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions, they can be very limited in terms of runtime that they provide. You are stuck with the Node.js versions that they require. And it can be tricky to install. I mean, if you have libraries that are Node.libraries, they can execute. But if you have dependencies that are compiled executables, like .so, they can be tricky to install. Yeah. OK. And what is the building method of serverless? I mean, in the serverless container, it's build per second, like serverless. How does it cost? How is the build calculated? It's also per second of runtime. I mean, usually, they build up to small fractions of seconds, like microseconds. But it's a bit different in that with serverless. Usually, they build per second of the runtime. But with containers, sometimes one container is usually going to be executing some web application, web serving platform, like NGINX. And with NGINX, you can already serve more than one client, one request at once. So if your NGINX is capable of serving, say, it is serving five requests at once, you are built for the container time between the first request and until the last request ends. But if they scale up from, if you get to the point where it decides that it needs to scale up, then your building is going to be multiplied by the number of containers that it needs to run to serve your application as well. So serverless, one instance, like Google Cloud it can run many instances at once. Or serverless, normal serverless can run many instances too. Yeah, definitely it can serve many instances. And I think with serverless, you are built per request. So I mean, if three requests can be served with one container, the platform doesn't care. It's going to build you for three requests. But with serverless container platforms, if three requests can be served by the same container, then the platform is going to build you for that container time. Oh, OK. Thank you. Has anybody got any questions? From your experience as a CTO, what parameters did you use to consider this is small scale, medium scale, or large scale? That is a very deep question. Actually, yeah, it goes deeper than this talk. But in general, I would think of it as in terms of people who need to manage that infrastructure. So it all needs to be, if it all can be managed by one person, then you don't need a lot of explicit configuration. It can be inside your head. But if it gets to the point where you need to have a team, you need to have night shift and morning shift, then you want some configuration to be visible. Or you want to abstract that configuration away entirely. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much for Mr. Patan Thananat. OK, thank you.


that would put pressure on the CPA firm possibly to have a favorable opinion in order for the litigation to go away and that wouldn't cause independence to be a problem. So if there's going to be a threatened litigation involved, obviously we don't want the audit, another audit to be in the middle of the threatening litigation. You got to basically, if that's going to be the case, then the litigation needs to go through and the auditor would not want to be involved in an audit during that process because of course it would compromise independence and again, you can just see just from a logical standpoint these rules kind of make sense because if you're an outside individual and you're looking at the independence of the audit, even if the auditor did the best job they could have and they said, hey, they were threatening to sue us but we did the best job we could and we looked at everything, we were very thorough and we gave a favorable opinion. If someone else looks at that, they're going to say, well, you only gave a favorable opinion because they're threatening to sue you, which would cost you a lot of money and that would obviously be a problem with independence. There's nothing the auditor can do about that appearance with the diligence of their work. All they can do is basically say independence is a problem, therefore, disengaged from that type of situation. Commitment of litigation by the CPA against the management, alleging management fraud or deceit would generally impair independence. So obviously if the CPA firm was going to engage in litigation against management with relation to fraud or deceit, then you wouldn't want to be going forward with another audit in that process and that would, that would be obvious even past the point of independence. Obviously it could be a violation of independence but if there's a situation where you suspect a lack of integrity in upper management within the organization that you're auditing, then that's typically part of the planning process or the thinking about whether or not you want to continue with an engagement process to think about the integrity of management and if you think that there's lack of it, then you wouldn't really want to proceed with the engagement in any case.


Let's add in a second thematic layer. If we go to thematic layer 2 and click on edit layer, we can now add in a second layer. Remember we discussed this concept of having different layers in a map being represented by different pieces of data. As we're adding more health data to this map, it's a good idea to add some type of data that is related to the initial data we mapped on the first layer. Our first layer contains information for the malaria-RDT positives. So we should try and add a second layer that relates to this first layer in some way. In this case we can compare the malaria-RDT positives with the number of tests that have been performed. We'll work with data elements again and select malaria. Let's select the malaria-RDTs that have been done. We should select the same period as we did previously. We selected a relative period and we selected this year. As for the organization units, let's select the district level. This will allow us to have one layer of data that shows information by district and another layer of data that shows information by facility. For our options, we are just going to leave them default for now. As these two layers will be stacked upon one another, we should make sure that the colors complement each other. In this case it will work out well if we just leave the color scale to be the same as the color scale we used previously. Let's update the map. We can see what effect this has on the map. We'll just decrease this facility layer legend. So now we can see the second thematic layer. Here we see the information associated with that second layer we've added to the map. We might want to change our method. In the first layer we've used equal counts. Let's also use equal counts for the second thematic layer. In this map we can look at the correlation between the RDT positive tests at the facility level and the total number of RDT tests done within that particular district. As a simplification, lighter facilities should match up with lighter districts. However, this might not always be the case in practice. We can save these maps as favorites, just like we did with charts and tables. The favorites interface is a little bit different when compared to the pivot table and data visualizer applications. If we click on favorite, a prompt will come up that allows us to manage our favorites. Here we can search for favorites and also add new favorites. If I want to add a new favorite, I'll click on add new, and then I'll provide the favorite with a name. We'll still follow the same naming convention that we've been using this entire time. Once we've provided the favorite with a name, we click on create. In order to pull the favorite back up, we just go to favorites, we search for the favorite, and then we can pull our favorite back up.


The following is a presentation of TFNN, the power trading hour with your host David White. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, David White. And welcome all to another excellent edition of the power trading hour and of course a very special power trading hour and it doesn't matter where you're at for this special power trading hour as long as you're here at the appointed time. The following takes place between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. So what do we have going on today the feds out of course I didn't look but I'm pretty sure that he has a a shindig a brew ha ha ha ha at 2 30 so we've got about 23 minutes before he gets some questions I don't think that changes anything a little bit of a little bit of that this and that now was up I don't know 150 points or something I think when I saw it earlier and now we've got what I would say is kind more of a what up let's see what we got here it's moving around too fast too much moving going on so we're down up 75 on the down now up 48 on the S&P cash as I said there's going to be a lot of ups and downs I suspect that we're going to have a long slog into the Memorial Day weekend and it's going to be a lot of action like this I'm going to sit on my hands and and wait for the short end to come in I could be wrong but I think that's the rate the way we're going and maybe that happens a little after if pal make some comments that are untoward to the incredible Rosie picture that many people are painting even in the face of probably at least what a percent and a half more rate hikes before they even think of stopping so we shall see but I think there are some bigger problems out facing us in the near future and if you're not going to change the policy and we've seen what the policies are of the last I don't know 18 months I don't see how you see a different outcome there isn't going to be any helicopter money coming in there isn't going to be any giant spending bills I think we did get the one for the SMH today and that's about it it's unclear how much of or any of that money actually is going to get spent so I think a lot of people voted for it just on the hopes of it but yeah there's a reason why we don't have fabs here in the country except one which I think is up in Wisconsin trying to remember the name of it little tiny one but my guess is it they won't go any easier there was nothing in the bill about fending off the EPA which just makes it too expensive to actually produce chips here in the United States the only reason we have that tiny one is some specialized chips that go to the military I want to say one sky or sky something it's in Minnesota or Wisconsin something like that I'll think about it as we go but anyway I think that's kind of some good feel good stuff whether that 50 billion ever makes it to anybody is yeah I'd say a 50-50 chance a lot of people are just thinking it was more of a political stunt than anything else so we shall see<PHONE_NUMBER> is it sky works I'll think about it here in a minute it sounds it's not sky work solutions I wrote about it about five or six months ago but there is one it doesn't do much but that's it<PHONE_NUMBER> email me at path at tfnn.com and of course you can always put a message in the den that we're looking for so what do we have going on here and just kind of holding steady up 50 on the S&P up 276 on the NASDAQ a lot of people ask me about what the response was for Microsoft and those others I think a lot of people just truly believe that it's one quarter and then that's it I didn't get that sense from listening to the Microsoft call I think a lot of people are wanting to making sure to keep this thing up and they're gonna be selling other things against it but yeah I don't see you know can you keep a stock up for a few days can you run some shorts yeah do I see anybody deciding to get in and go full-tilt boogie on Microsoft and some of these others not really why don't we go ahead and start looking at earnings too and we had some discussions in the den see oh we got do we have more here that's all we have here okay I don't know oh anyway we're gonna look at some of the winners and losers of the day the biggest one is Sava and I was saying in the den I had a couple people email me I don't have any insight to these companies nor do I spend a lot of time chasing them and that is biotechs very tough even if you were probably on the inside to know what's gonna happen to these I don't think I have an advantage maybe somebody else does but I'm not a big fan of them just to let you know that you know the the odds of startups actually coming out with the drug and breaking even on all the cash coming in there's about 10 to 1 so that's why most of the bigger companies out there will allow these smaller companies to get involved in something show something work and then they'll buy it because the attrition rate is just so horrific back here didn't really give a big signal here did blow through the lows and it's the biggest loser today down 22% but I don't have any inside knowledge you can write anything in the newspapers anymore I was saying before I don't know how you you read a newspaper and believe anything if three Pulitzer Prize winners for stories over the last four years are proven that it was literally all made up lie for the story yet they get to hold on to their Pulitzers so news or propaganda seems to me like if you allow that to stand literally anything can so I don't know how you can prove the up and down side I think there's some facts you can look at and Glean and that is is someone charged or not charged on this one I like I said no in insides if Reuters though says a couple people from the Justice Department says that there's probably some smoke there's too many other stocks out here for me to look at to get involved in a land war in China if you know that reference from Princess right we'll be back in a minute booming inflation we are purchasing powers eroded there's no better place to protect your harder and money than a goal this the golds flagship asset is the Monk Todd goal project in the northern territory of Australia this is

it's up 11 12 percent got to 121 67 is not going to break out of the left hand shoulder from about the end of May to the first week of June volume is pretty good but again I think a lot of people were short this I've never really understood how these companies are going to make money we've talked about companies I don't understand about how they don't make money like Roku Spotify never understood the music business ever making any money my apple pretty much destroyed the courting industry I don't you know as far as I can tell people are just kind of famous for being famous the kind of the Cardassian thing in music now which isn't very good for a long-term success in it I don't hear a lot of people putting in current music and advertising everything I see is back to the 70s or 80s maybe I'll see an ad with some real house music or rap but I haven't seen it yet I think that tells you something about the business of Spotify maybe people listen to this stuff but I have a feeling a lot of people it's just kind of a bad business to be in even with some of the other stuff going on around it the move to podcasts is a little better probably but I don't think it changes their trajectory of being in a bad neighborhood and is it probably ever going to get any better hard to think it took 40 years for the airline business to get out of the cycle of going bankrupt every three or five years only to come out of bankruptcy to go back into bank bankruptcy maybe these companies like XM satellites Spotify the rest that kind of depend on this I don't know buggy whips I think maybe that's the best way to look at them ADP is up today to nice candle on this one but not nice volume it is breaking through the May 31st high that had three million shares you don't have the volume on that though today you about 1.2 million shares compared to that three million share high you've got some other ones out here and of course on a fed day you're kind of probably going to see a few more of these kinds of things another big loser of the day is a share one Williams and you kind of had to think that this housing business is going to be problematic for time to come but certainly painting houses is a business that probably has hit its high for a little while at least painting new houses you still have a low at 214 22 that comes in with about 2.6 million shares you know about six bucks higher than that six and a half bucks higher than that today but you got absolutely monster volume so you got to look at testing 214 22 before you can make any other movement out here big winner in the biotech space is tiva pharmaceuticals this one is up 23 percent today really didn't give any kind of indication out here that much was going on but certainly a huge day on huge volume next stop is probably $9.52 that June 2nd high again on the loser side is Kraft Heinz ketchup down on some big volume you would think the makers of the vegetable in a bottle probably would be doing better by now I didn't look in to read the news out here you got 14 million shares though going into to a 28 million share low at 3476 so is that going to be support well you kind of got close to that today my guess though is you're going to see these things pull back to those levels and test them uh to do what else do we have on my list of stuff general dynamics kind of flat GSK got a little bit of a bounce out here in T-Mobile you got some decent volume three million share high before you got about five million shares into it now but it's not holding that high I think a lot of people are all wanting to say I'll show you mine if you show me yours but you got to show me yours first and certainly when it came time for the breakout it did not hold 138 98 on T-Mobile is the June 6th high with three million shares and you're into it with 5.2 but not well maybe not holding it 130 not well you're at 139 14 so you're right there maybe there is something more in that uh to another big winner out here uh that kind of been moved down lower on unionization talks uh just like starbucks and some of the others uh but uh you had a lot of people short this stock I don't think the earnings were that good or the numbers were that good uh but certainly uh it's being pushed that way but a great deal more about this one was probably a lot of people thinking it was going to go back down to a thousand but uh who knows people paying up for burritos uh you can put that in your pipe and smoke it for the next month or two uh we got skyworks got that uh meta after the bell tonight right they haven't reported pretty sure tonight after the bell all right yeah uh 405 uh 222 let's go ahead and clean this up here um you got a bounce it's just with the market um again uh whether it's google or these uh I have a feeling that these things are going to shortly be on sale as I said uh I think that there's a great big danger out there looming mostly in Europe and mostly everybody over here is ignoring it and uh that is some of the new laws over here so uh whether it's microsoft which probably gonna be affected a little or uh google and uh meta musul going to be affected a lot I think a lot of people are whistling past the graveyard on that uh on these um having disappointing earnings and still going higher I think a lot of people not listening to the CEOs maybe they know something we don't but uh my guess is that uh google and uh the others are not sand bagging and uh there'll be something else uh eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight if you want to take advantage of this sector now

the same thing that we had years ago when there were only three real networks and you knew the shows and everybody else knew which shows were on at night and knew the people in them pretty soon you got kind of real uh vulcanized that's with a b not vulcanized like rubber vulcanized like the Balkan states um there just isn't enough people uh anymore uh that know what one particular song is maybe there are a bunch of people that hang around some rock uh rap star or something but uh i think the shelf life for those things are what about five minutes uh it reminds me the andy warhol thing everybody gets uh fame for 15 minutes but i think that's about it i think it's about 15 minutes i don't think there's any staying power anymore in the music industry uh with the very exception of a couple of folks uh at the very highest levels these days that'll pay big money for concert tickets but uh yeah i think they they pay more money for riots now what was that astros saying last year that uh that more typifies the kind of thing going on in my opinion uh anyway question from ather systems a e h r uh and whether or not i see a whole lot and i think that now that we have the bill sort of passed the only company from me skimming over it today for at least what was in the text that even possibly is going to really be able to uh do well on that is uh probably intel and why it didn't say intel on the bill it was basically intel please start making your chips here some other design uh inferences but again uh design a much different issue doesn't really matter whether chips design if you can't get it and getting it especially uh against a backdrop of china trying to take over the entire semiconductor industry and probably could with an invasion of taiwan uh we should uh be very wary of uh not having the actual at least half of what we use in the uh chip making place here uh in our country uh even if there's somewhere else china is much more willing to put the heavy arm on a country than us and probably would succeed especially now within our weakened state both militarily and uh politically on the world stage but uh yeah i'm not a big fan don't think that there's uh anything more in the smh is now that a little blip and that intel is the only one that could conceivably use this i know a lot of other people said uh that they wanted to get on it the bill was pared down quite a bit uh from what it was so even today with the passage in the senate uh not much action on intel which would be the big recipient so either it's all priced in uh or uh you know there's not much else going on there but intel has a lot of problems of its own almost all self inflicted okay what else do we have out here uh two two two two we looked at cmg we looked at meta uh texas instruments txn uh up four percent again i think a lot of people were a little bit more bearish than they needed to be texas instruments really doesn't make anything that is ultra special these days uh they make a lot of almost commodity level chips although they are a little specialized they they're better than a chinese company just making ripoffs but not as good as something like an invidia or an amd or some of these others with you know three four five six hundred percent profit margins texas instruments stuff i think some of the biggest stuff they have maybe have 200 margins on it they're just isn't that big uh okay um you got a bounce in texas instrument but gave most of it up again i don't see a lot here we'll see a lot more after the fed quits talking and uh aunt blabby just started so we shall see i think everybody's far far and away way ahead of the tips of their skis at the moment yeah but uh how many of their things really make that huge as i used to call it and everybody else i knew called it they make a texas instrument makes glue they make all the chips that actually get uh plugged in to other bigger things on bigger margin products for the most time they make some less expensive stuff too but it tends to be on a price competitive kind of products i don't see them making uh intel or apple or other kinds uh net 65 margins like many others lots of stuff that people need just doesn't make the margins uh two two two okay let's see out here question about bowing uh they had their earnings i don't know i think most of the bounces in on this thing as i said we came right up to this double gap uh the last one was on april 27th on the way down that one was with uh 40 million shares so we're kind of got right back to it again um the original gap is part of a monster gap higher uh that goes back to september ninth of 2020 uh when i think there was uh this was yet another bill that came out of congress on them if i'm not mistaken i can't remember now anyway a huge day on 49 million shares so you know that gap out there is still it came back it busted it came back up to it but that part of that gap still exists and uh on the two two july 22nd you tested 12 million shares today it about 12.2 but came back down i'd like to see about a 50 percent retracement on this uh and see if the volume dries up before i think there's any reason to go after it um again i think we're going to need congress to you know if you wanted me to be bullish on bowing uh very bullish one that i'd actually put my own money into it i'd want to see congress move the uh the uh retirement age up for senior pilots and move the 1500 hours to sit in the right seat maybe moved down to a thousand or something because right now you don't have enough pilots and that's going to be the deciding factor probably for years to come uh now in europe you can have i think 250 hours and sit right seat in a 737 so it tells you probably everything you need to know we have uh i i would rather have a 1500 uh our pilot but the question is going to be whether or not you can actually if you want to go long bowing you have to think that there are going to be the pilots there to sit in those right seats uh the left seats probably not a problem they move everybody up okay to to uh we looked at google we do a chart microsoft i don't think we did we'll come back and tfnn has been your

distributor four side fund services llc this program is brought to you by vista gold traded on the nyse american and tsx under the symbol vgz as we return uh yeah we looked at microsoft so there's not much there i think we got some other one uh okay i don't see much you got volume here but okay one of the big winners out here cc jit i don't know if there's anything else going on uh besides what has you're coming back into this gap down the gap down had uh 8.7 million shares you got about that today so you did get kind of a boost out of here i think that's a lot on china uh and then moving question about apple a apl you're just back up into the high from the other day you had 66 million shares today you got 41 i think there are a lot of people very very extensively bullish here today and i'm not exactly sure why okay let's go back out here question about the x l e call me a skeptic out here um just an inside day on the x l e so not much to scream about there uh apl gld i got a little bit there do no volume though it doesn't matter what it is the last three days have been sideways maybe waiting for the fed maybe you get more volume before the end of the day again kind of if ish looks at yes of h's question about tesla from john ts la hard to say um as we talked the other day i think that 850 level in this gap is where it's going to it's going to be pretty hard resistance levels right there<PHONE_NUMBER> get this all updated we got that one that's going through my list here of stuff we'll get the rest of it here to to to okay i bb okay take a quick look at that um certainly sideways action out here today you're really not in or out of any trading range uh but uh yeah get that uh s and p at uh 40011 so you got something going on here uh to to to okay i'm just not exactly sure why did he say anything about not raising rates anymore yeah don't know that's part of being on why this thing happens did i see anything in dust uh d u s t yeah and we talked about this the other day uh on the uh move here yeah you kind of just got to close right at it though probably today would make take a lot of movement to get the same underneath it but again probably some kind of movement back again okay see what else we have out here okay question on you and g well you went up you went into the previous high that 14.7 million shares or 12 million shares uh you're about uh three weeks away from the strongest part of uh the natural gas cycle which is the end of august so yeah any pullbacks if you're not long already any pullbacks probably get it i thought it would come back and stay around 26 most of the summer but uh too many news articles about putin shutting off the gas uh ran it a little earlier than i thought but uh yeah 20 yeah i'd have to have it back at about 26 to get back in you might get that sometimes you get some different stuff question on the tlt quick look at that so yeah you just have an inside day on yesterday's downside with more volume so no real call here yesterday i mean today on yesterday's action which was a huge buying of uh of bonds you know you're not ready to move you really need to get below that three by three line before anything happens and we're not there quite yet question about you looking at the usual suspects uh amd had some pretty high short interest uh you're just up against the trend line at the moment volume's not all that exciting let's take a look at n vda and see and same thing on it you're just there maybe you're gonna close a little bit above it uh but uh yeah problems are probably going to go into the third quarter uh for both amd and nvidia now looked at microsoft question on mu take a quick look at it uh you've gone below you're not getting back above it this is kind of the best barometer of the smh's because everything needs memory but uh yeah i don't see a lot in here you got three days of declining volume maybe there's more volume before the end of the day but doesn't look a great deal like there's a bunch out there to me uh any chance that it's time to come back into planet tier planet uh planet planet here uh just a lot of sideways action as far as i can tell i don't see much going on on that one uh okay let's see what we got here okay xle xm e we'll return take a quick look at xm e for robert vista gold owns and operates the largest undeveloped gold project in

what changed out here but uh yeah won't be the first or last time that i'm wrong but uh the only sin is staying wrong not being wrong uh what else do you have out here to to ccj ibb apple we looked at that question about ibm any movement on it today i don't think so many kind of whiffed on earnings and that's about it you got at least it's closing back into the and above the three by three displaced moving average so you may be the worst of it in the short term is over but it's going to take a while to get any of this going uh did we talk about the x me i don't think so yet and we'll see okay so let's look at this you've got we're right back into this shoulder before it fell apart going back down to the the july 6 but uh i don't think you can say anything about it like that uh again the last 30 minutes of the day much more important that goes on when you're talking because everybody will have a chance to actually look and see what he said today like me so when you can not when you have to we'll be back tomorrow building wealth trading in the stock market seems impossible


Oh my god, why does he keep going for the legend of the hidden cross-up? Whew, that was nice though. How's it going everybody? Datsudo here with another Dragon Ball Fighter's Ranked Match video. Today we're playing some more Goku Blue simply because he's such a fun character and we're going up against another living legend rank so there are a lot of points, potential points to gain and points to lose here on this match and you'll see I'm starting off super strong with a whip down heavy into the Vegeta set. Oh, but he drops his combo and I tech myself right back into it because that's just my style. Let me out of this corner. Oh, he's super dashes. All right, going to go ahead and guard cancel out here. Ooh, that was close. All right, yes, cross-up overhead. Ooh, and the auto combo picks up there. Shout out to the Super Dash Nerf. This guy is really going deep in the down heavy city. To counter that, really we can throw out more ki blasts because it's not invulnerable to that. Shout out to the first patch ever. Yeah, I was worried about that grab. I was also worried about an overhead into the beam which is why I froze up as you could see there. Man, he's doing good. I got to get my tempo out here. Switching me out again? Darn, I didn't have any assist up. Goku Blue is there. I would have called him out in a heartbeat. Don't you even think I wouldn't have... Extending it? He's really... Oh, really? Oh, yeah, let me in. No way, anti-air stomp gets me and that's going to be the end of Super St. Goku. Please don't switch. He doesn't switch. I would have definitely switched there. Now he's forced into this weird game of does he switch out, does he cover it with an assist and then switch? Oh, no! I knew it was coming. My down heavy couldn't get off in time, though. That's not going to be good enough. Oh, it is. It is. Okay, so we do get him back in. Wow, and mistime our medium, too. Shout out to Super Dash Nerf. You know we love those. Here on this channel, we will take a Super Dash Nerf. Yes, it's a main part of my strategy, but we good. I probably should have just saved that last meter and just gone out into Yamcha instead, right? Probably would have been the better play, would have saved up on some more blue health. All right, we're switching out. We're switching out. Quick tag Yamcha. Hello. Calling Yamcha. You guys do not want to know how long I was dialing that phone.  That was nice. That was nice. I'll give it up. I'll give it up. The slide dog pulled one over on me again. All right, it's time to spark up. At this point, both of our characters are too low to warrant saving up for a spicy level three sparking, but we will 100 percent. Oh, what are you doing? Oh, we might be dead. We might be dead. I'm not sure what the extension there was for. Maybe he wanted an easy corner switch. Oh, no, I didn't take that. All right, well, our might be dead is looking a little looking a little extra, extra confirmed debt. Oh, wow. Okay. I don't even think that was all necessary, but if you feel like it was, you know, I'm not going to hold it against you, but I'm a man with five bars and two dragon balls on the screen. So you already know what time it is on me. I'm dead.   Please kill. Okay. Okay. Okay. I wanted to go to the dragon ball route, but it doesn't seem too realistic at this point, especially when you show me the dragon balls like that. Oh, yes. Hi, okay. Do we use our extra two bars or save them for for the heat? We use them. Right? Why not at this point? Get as much damage as possible, make him spark, read the sparking, do whatever it takes. Oh, he did it again. He's a big fan of the cross up. Okay. Well, now all that really means is we just got to be prepared for the cross up. That's all it means. That was good. He hit me with it like three times. I never expected it once. What's the read here, though? There we go. The initial first read was a big success. He's going to reflect. We don't have a, wow, no Goku assist came out. That was my bad. I inputted that at an incorrect time or maybe I didn't press it at all. Who truly knows?  I might spark up right now to be on, oh wow, wow. The jump gets me. Oh, God. Yep. Okay. We baited out that reflect and this is looking like a possible, nah, unfortunate we didn't get that third bar. Wow, a cross up. I didn't mean for that to happen. Oh, no way. That didn't count as a grab. Oh, and that didn't count as a super dash. How did that count as a heavy? That's wild. Okay, if we get 16 back in, that's not too big of a deal because he's so low, but he has so many options to switch him from. Never mind. He used the only option instantly, so we should have just gone in. I was going to say, if that counts, hold down heavy. You got to be kidding me. I'm just getting fundamentals out here. I'm just getting killed by fundamentals. And I'm getting killed by pressing buttons a second after him, which is really bad. And just buttons at the wrong time, too. So I'm getting killed in every area of the game, which is just the sad fact of life right now. Okay. There's a reason I did that. Oh, it dropped 16 anyway because it wasn't a real combo. I should have went for the Kamehameha. Drats. There was a reason I did that, but the reason was poor. Okay. But I like this. Now, if we time our buttons right, there we go. There we go. All right. Now we have him down to one character with level three sparking and six bars, still not exactly the cream of the crop scenario we're hoping for, but much, much better than what we had. And we convert. That's how we like it. That's how we like it, honestly. Drop him right down into our Yamacha. Now we got to ask ourselves the question, is this where he sparks? Yes or no? Level three. I'm going to go ahead and cash him on a yes, but it was clearly no. That being said, it's all over anyway. Excuse me. I'm not talking. I know it's just DHS, but I like to focus when I'm mastering my craft. It's one, one, but it feels like it's three, three. The set has been going on for a while in my eyes, or at least in my heart, dude. I'm drained, but we do get the rematch, which is nice. What's the read here? Did we go in? No, he goes in. Ah, another comming wrap. He doesn't really like the extended block strings, that's another thing I'm noticing. But he loves these. He will take a tag out even if it means nothing. He loves tagging out into Dragon Rush. I'm expecting him to switch it up at this point, because you'll see I'm just mashing buttons out, which isn't really safe. I was expecting him to do it there. Yep. Again, we bait out the reflecting those scenarios. Okay. And that combos. Ah, we're not going to waste the bar here. Ah, Dreads. Oh no, the down heavy doesn't come out in time. That's the second time this set where I've overestimated. I knew that was coming. I knew that was coming. I've raised my voice in octave, anyway, too. Oh, it's just one of those situations where he hits you with the heavy, and like, that was a weird angle. If I was him, I would probably, he's going to Dragon Rush. Wow, that killed. I should have looked at where the damage was, because that felt like a lot. I didn't mean to. Okay. Okay, this should be death here. Damn it. Damn it. Okay. Well, in a way, I kind of just saved three bars. So don't look at it like a drop. Look at it like an opportunity. You're trying to... Don't scuff with me. Block it. All right, I'll take that. Okay, I'll take that, too. We're going to go into hard knockdown. We want the mix-up. And by mix-up, I mean we're going to block the DP. That because, let's be honest, Vegeta players in DP, name them more iconic kids. Wow. I guess I'll stick with peanut butter and jelly for my analogies. Maybe I won't stick with peanut butter and jelly. Okay, I'm glad that comment I went the right way. I definitely thought I messed that up. Okay, last character, level three sparking. We've been in this scenario once before. He's going to Super Dash. Oh, why didn't I expect the old classic maneuver? You know he loves it. Even I know he loves it. I should start down heaving those. Is that too late? No, that was right on time. Looked a little late in my eyes. Okay, let's wield the power, everybody. There we go. We like those. We honestly, we pretty much love these situations. No down heavy comes out. He didn't go for the cross-up. The one time I expected it. He's going to try to sparking combos to death. It's not going to kill. He could level three, but it's not going to kill. The question is, are we man enough to block this? I've had this problem before in my young adult life. Excuse me, sir. Where are these 10 frames coming from? I believe I ordered three frames. I believe I ordered three frames with my meal, sir. Always with the additional services you don't ask for. Unfortunate, but to one, I understand completely. I'm not going to throw it back. I'm always open to trying new things. Okay, I'm punished by Super Dash with efficiency. Command grab, nice. Finally, some proactive defense with my meals. I don't know where these meal analogies came from, but please bear with me. It's all I got right now. Bait out the reflect. Oh. I got to start playing better wake-up offense. I can't let the reflect scare me. Reflect. It never covers that option, but yet I always wanted to. Oh, I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. He'll extend this, and then I'll be dead. Yep. 16 does Damage with Beam Assist. Like, actually, actually insane Damage. And you can't argue it. It's just something that is a wee in there, though. We in there, and he hasn't reflected once, so I'm going to stop with the baiting situation here. That was not supposed to be an EX fist. That was supposed to be a bait-ish. But my curse, my fingers rolling around on the day of D-pad. Knock me down. Oh, don't knock me that down. Don't knock me that down. OK, it's sparking time. OK, we're going to get 16 back out. Block me or don't. Your choice. Block me or don't. It was your choice. All right, we need to use the sparking momentum while we got it, honestly, because if we don't. Oh, god. No, no, dude. No, dude. Oh, how unfortunate does it get? There we go. Sneaky, sneaky, aren't you, stuff? OK, now we're just cheesy. Never works.  Ah, he still has sparking, too, which is really the killer here. Ah, and I couldn't squeeze in a vanish or super dash. I tried both like the scrub I am. I wanted to squeeze it out. This is going to be tough, tough, tough comeback. I usually don't make these comebacks with Super Saiyan Goku. So this is already a bad sign. Check the video length, fellas. The video length tells all. Video length, check it. Check it. Oh, he messed it up. Oh my god, why does he keep going for the legend of the hidden cross-up? That was nice, though. I can appreciate a little cross-up every now and again. I'm ashamed. I got hit by it that many times, but it's one of those things where you just got to like, ah, just keep. It's one of those things where you're like, OK, he won't hit it with me. He won't hit me with it again, will he? But he does. And then that process repeats and repeats until you fall over dead in 3-1. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this rank session video.

Hi, y'all. My name is Simone Barski-Neely, and today I'm going to be touching upon a topic that isn't often covered in depth, which is combating burnout as a product manager. While search results for burnout will give you tons of results on Google, you likely won't find much in the way of how to specifically address burnout in the discipline of product management. So let's talk about it. We'll discuss today what exactly is burnout. How do you recognize it? What is unique to burnout in product management? And what are some actionable strategies that you can take in order to address it? So I'll go ahead and share my screen. All right. So who am I exactly? My name is Simone, as I mentioned. I am currently the Product Director of Commerce over at CNN Digital. And previously, I was in product for companies like Discovery, Inc., People, Sports Illustrated, Sundance Now, Warner Brothers, and so on. So I definitely feel like at some point in my career, perhaps multiple times, I've definitely experienced burnout and have developed some strategies I'd love to share with you on how to overcome it. And in general, what's important to know is that I spend all day with product managers. So not only am I a product manager, but I report to product managers. I have product managers report to me. And I'm also married to a product manager who you will hear about plenty in this discussion because he and I have some very different ways of tackling burnout. Neither of them are better than the other. It just really depends on who you are as a person and what works for you. So let's just talk about what is burnout for a moment. It's a pretty obvious feeling that hits you when you start waking up in the morning with a feeling of dread about your day. We've all heard of Sunday scaries. They're really typical. But if you're finding that every morning you're waking up feeling a sense of dread about your day because you're overwhelmed or you are not excited about what you're doing, that typically is a result of burnout. It might look throughout the day like difficulty concentrating or a general lack of motivation. A lot of times there are some physical symptoms that come up such as not sleeping well, getting sick and just general emotional exhaustion. One thing I did want to point out about burnout is there are different ways to experience it. A lot of times we associate it with being overworked. I've actually found that in the past I myself have experienced burnout when I'm feeling under challenged, when I'm just not excited about the work I'm doing or I no longer feel like it's in the growth trajectory that I was hoping for and each day sort of feels like a drag. So burnout doesn't have one size fits all definition, but you typically know it when you're experiencing it. So let's talk a little bit about what's unique to product management burnout. Of course there are many different careers and projects really that can lead to burnout, but product management has some very specific reasons behind that burnout and it's important to identify them as you think about your own performance. The first one is really just you're working with every department. So everything is your business. You work with finance and legal and business development, editorial content, marketing, all of them, which means that usually you're spread pretty thin and also a lot of your coworkers don't necessarily know what you're working on. They believe that anything you're working on with them is the only thing you're working on. They don't realize maybe how much you have going on. It's also quite difficult working with every department to keep people in the loop in real time all the time, especially when you have a big list of things to do. And often you are kind of that communication point for management and execution. So while things are being executed and you're helping folks on the engineering or design side execute a project, you often need to be reporting back constantly to management as well. This just requires a lot of upkeep managing all of these different stakeholders. Burnout also comes for product managers because you have to say no to people a lot. Nobody likes to give bad news, but it's a really regular part of the product management job. And really managing expectations for your stakeholders can sometimes be mistaken for incompetence or idleness because a lot of folks don't know everything you have on your plate. If you don't communicate properly why you haven't gotten to something yet, they might think that you're being idle or you're not getting done what you need to, but really it's that you need to help manage expectations of when things will be ready. And in general, bad news has to roll off your back when you're a product manager, but having that positive attitude all the time and taking things in stride can take a lot of energy and definitely result in burnout over periods of time. Another thing that's unique about product burnout is that you're always on demand. So of course, engineers and designers are always relying on you for day to day direction and answers. Every sprint that you plan is really dictating what the work is going to be for the next couple of weeks for your team. So that's a lot of accountability and responsibility that sits on your plate. And very unique to product is that when you go on vacation, there's usually not someone to take on specific, particularly strategic parts of your work because there are usually one product manager per team. So you might have multiple designers or you might have a whole squad of engineers, but typically one product manager per team. So when you come back from vacation, the work is always there when you get back ready to get picked up. So it can definitely feel like work piles up as a mountain and it's hard to always delegate the work that you have because it's so unique to your position. You also are often this go-to technical person for non-technical peers and executives. So while I would definitely say the engineers that I work with, the tech lead that I work with will exponentially always be better at explaining some of the technical insights needed, all the bugs tend to get sent to you, concerns get sent to you. And that's because you really are supposed to be able to translate the technical issues and blockers into plain language to everyone. Nobody wants to get in the weeds and you kind of have to be that translator. So a lot of times timeline questions are directed at you, even if you have project and program management support, a lot of times because you are seen as that go-to technical person, they often get sent to you directly. One last thing is that something always feels like it's slipping through the cracks. This is a really common feeling in product management. I would say of all product managers that I've spoken to that have hit a period of burnout in their careers, this one seems to always be the most common because people always feel like they're not doing enough, but they're always working somehow. And typically your to-do list is about 10 miles long. It seems like the work never dries up. And that's really because part of product management and being a good product manager is prioritizing what are the things that absolutely must be done and what is nice to be done. The truth is that if you are a great product manager, you are going to have things that you want to do that you don't always get a chance to, but you have to make that confident and self-assured decision what is important to be done now and what can be done later. That being said, it doesn't always feel like you're on top of it because it feels like there's never a version of your work where there are no more tasks to do. So you might ask who in the world would take this job? This high pressure, lots of accountability job. I would say that product managers tend to be incredibly ambitious. They love to build things and it's a really cool job because you get to take an idea to execution and see it out in the world and work with users to see how they love it, work with stakeholders to help build a business and people who really love juggling multiple tasks and being at the center of a concept love being product managers. So there's a lot of glory involved. Whenever things go well, product managers get lots of support and praise. But of course, when things don't go so well, product managers need to have that thick skin in order to accept that most things don't happen perfectly all the time and it's always a learning experience. So we figured out product management burnout, it's very specific. How do we fix it? So the first way that you can tackle product burnout is that you need to really identify what is it about your job that is draining you. I say this because even though product management has a lot in common across industries and roles, not all product jobs are created equal and frankly, product managers range so wildly that they're just not seeking the same things. As we know, there are marketing specific product managers, there are services and technical specific product managers. There are people who have more of a business background that are applying it to product management. So everybody is looking for something slightly different in their career and knowing yourself is super important to finding the right role for you. I've included two great resources that can help you identify these personal insights of what would make me happy as a product manager. The first one, this is a shameless self-plug. Back last year, I did a talk about what kind of product manager am I? I've included a link in this particular slide if you'd like to try it out for yourself, but it basically helps you make a declaration of what kind of product management role are you happiest in, depending on the revenue model, depending on the type of company in terms of size, in terms of the users you work with. It's really important to understand exactly what kind of role you're looking for when you're settling for a product role. So you will know in advance if it's exactly what you're looking for. So I definitely recommend trying out the product management declaration. And then I also would love to give credit to PMDaisy.com, where I also included a link that also helps you understand how our product management jobs different even within the same industry, let's say. So here's an example of two product daisies, one that I created for two different jobs. The one on the left is the one that I have right now at CNN, and the one on the right is one that I previously had at a role that I felt a lot of burnout at and didn't feel like it was quite the right fit. Rather than just feeling like I was overwhelmed and couldn't understand why I was feeling that way, I went ahead and filled out a product daisy to understand what are the parts of my job that are either lacking or that I'm frustrated over. So you can see that on the left, depending so the different colors actually correspond to the level of involvement you have with each department in your role, you can go to PMDaisy.com and actually fill out your own daisy. And it does wonders to helping you understand your own position. But on the left, you can see that there's a lot of collaboration right now for me in departments when it comes to decision making. This is huge for me being able to be really involved in all of the decisions, even if I'm not the one actually executing on them, but at least getting, you know, being able to provide insight. That's been really important to me in feeling like I have control over my role. Also noticing on the left that I have program management support. I have really wonderful resources at CNN of some fabulous project and program managers that really helped me organize my day, organize engineering sprints. And that's something that I have found time and time again is not my strong suit. So having that support is really helpful in making sure that I focus on the things that I do feel like I'm good at. And lastly, you can see that I've got a lot of research support at CNN. We've got a really fabulous research team that helps to do either qualitative or quantitative. And so any time that I have questions, I can go to them and feel like I'm really connecting with the users. Let's compare to the other side here. So this job I was really feeling burnt out on. And you can see that I had a lot of distance from the business and marketing departments when it came to decision making. A lot of times things would just be put on my plate and people would say, you have to do this. And even if I didn't necessarily agree or didn't understand why, it was now a part of the decree of my job, which became very frustrating and eventually led to burnout. Also, there were really no resources for program or project management. And because that is really not my strong suit, I definitely felt overwhelmed. I would also say it was a bit of like an imposter syndrome experience that I had because it was something I just simply wasn't good at that I was being requested to make as part of the focus of my role, which made me feel like I just wasn't very good at being a product manager. Little did I realize that having a little bit of support in that department meant that I could flourish in other areas. And lastly, you can see that there was virtually no relationship with a research team. So I felt really disconnected from users and connecting with users is what has really inspired me to become a product manager. So obviously, that was not going to be a great fit. So definitely recommend that you go ahead to PMDaisy.com, create your own and then really assess the fit of your role for who you are as a product manager and then sometimes move on if necessary. But typically this will help you narrow down what exactly is frustrating you. How else can you tackle product burnout? So I always say, don't be a martyr. Burnout is not just affecting you, it affects your team as well.  It's better just to take a day off work and reset. I would say, though, be really strategic about the time off. So this is where I will definitely reference my product manager husband.  But on the other end of the spectrum are folks like my husband who decompresses in his own way. He will prepare all week for a video game he's excited to play or a book he's excited to read and really take it easy and not put too much pressure on himself. So everybody has their different way of taking the day off, but either way that you choose, whether it's decompressing or jumping into a totally different project, it's important to be strategic. The last thing that you want to do is to panic, take the day off, have nothing to do and spend the day just feeling anxious about work that you have piling up when you're not there because that defeats the whole purpose of it. But yeah, don't be a martyr.  Otherwise, your performance is going to suffer and it doesn't help anybody. Another thing that really can help you tackle product burnout is identifying and resisting negative reinforcement. Look, we all work with some folks who have either been at a company for a little too long or just generally tend to be pessimistic and they might come to you and vent. Totally cool. That being said, it's super important to, while displaying empathy for them, know that there is a limit because a lot of times when you focus on negativity, it reinforces the feelings of frustration you might have. And rather than feeling like you can problem solve, which is really the fundamental foundation, I guess, of product management, it makes you feel helpless. The truth is that there is not going to be a single day in your product management career that you come into work and there isn't going to be a problem. That's the whole point. You're supposed to be solving those problems and helping your colleagues through them.  It has to bring you inspiration in order to overcome them, problem solve them and feel like you really achieved it. So if you are facing a lot of challenges at a certain point, just avoiding negativity can be tremendous. Another thing that is worth noting is in the workplace, typically there can be a lot of gossip and I would say that gossip tends to forge very insincere connections. I recently realized that when I looked back at my whole career and I think about the people who I've stayed in touch with at previous companies, we did not forge a relationship over gossip. We did it over projects that we worked on together, creativity, excitement. Those connections might feel real in the moment but in retrospect, they will appear to be insincere because they don't actually help either person move forward. And lastly, I just wanna note that not falling into negativity requires discipline. It's really hard, especially when you're super overworked or super overwhelmed to contribute to somebody else's negativity. It feels like the natural way to go but it hurts only yourself. It's also important to assess if you're being reactive and need to organize. And this is where we'll get into a couple of strategies around organization. One thing that's very common in product management roles is that you context switch constantly. You might be working on 10, 20 different projects for a moment every day and nonstop slacks from all of your colleagues, nonstop emails can be really distracting.  These are those that work for me. There are some that I did not include here because while they sound great, I have not been able to do them. So just wanna be honest with myself. One of them I consider it like stop, make a note or ticket. Let's say somebody messages me with a bug or a question that I don't have the answer to offhand or even there's a ticket that I need to make. Before I try to jump on it, I always try to write it down. On the left, you can see here that I am a fan of Trello but there are always other opportunities within Evernote or even going directly to GitHub or JIRA to make the ticket. So long as you write it down, you will feel so much more comfortable that something isn't slipping through the cracks. I really believe that short-term memory in product management is one of the challenges we all have to work against. So just not trusting that you'll remember later and writing it down always is helpful. I also would say make your roadmap cross-departmental and public. So this goes back to one of the points of burnout that product managers experience, which is a lot of folks don't know what you're working on and they might be mad or pushy towards you if they feel like you're not prioritizing their work when they don't know what else you're working on. So I like to make my product roadmap really, really explicit to all of my colleagues, show them what we're working on, the progress of it, even when it's across departments. So marketing typically doesn't really care as much about what business development is doing or editorial and while they have needs of their own, it is important to show them that they're not the only folks you're working with. I also would say that if you even better can tell them how you're determining the priority rank that's ideal because then you can get input from folks who don't necessarily agree or have insight into the importance of something that you might not know about. I love using the rice model. It's looking at the reach, impact, confidence and effort that a particular initiative requires. And I actually create a key for everybody to see where did this measurement come from so that we can all be aligned. Another organization tactic is to organize and block your days. I have a couple of examples in the bottom left here of the type of calendar events that I will set for myself. I find that particularly if I'm writing requirements or I'm working on strategic prioritization I really need focus time. So blocking off that time to just commit to those things is really helpful for me. Communicate your focuses. Here are a couple of examples on the top right of times that I explicitly, these are real life examples of times I've told coworkers I'm in a meeting for the next hour, mind if I circle back or I'll need to wait until this afternoon because I'm in the middle of something. The truth is that if you do things as soon as everybody wants you to you will never get more than one minute done of anything at any time. And lastly, I would say, chase that inbox zero magic. For me in my email, if I'm at inbox zero that means that I have responded to everything. There are no more to do. So making sure that you really discipline yourself to go through each email and only archive it if you know that you've responded to it or there are no next steps can really take a lot of the anxiety and that feeling of things slipping through the cracks off of your mind. And last but not least this is not just for product management. It's certainly for everybody but it's a good reminder and one that frankly I struggle with a lot. So I put it in here to even just remind myself it's really important to manage your work hours. Wherever you can delegate to have people on engineering or design or marketing or anyone really help you whether it comes down to research or writing out requirements lean on the people you work with. Particularly, I can say at CNN I have some really incredible colleagues who have insights I simply don't if I can delegate to them to be able to tackle some things it will save me significant time and it might honestly come out better. So delegating where you can is super important to managing your own sanity. And then when you do take off either stay off and create boundaries. I know that's really hard to do sometimes especially when like crazy bugs pop up or business critical issues. So either stay off unless something really critical comes up or actually set times for check-ins. I will every once in a while if I take a vacation that's a little more extended I will book a time for a check-in just to make sure that nothing is on fire because it brings me a lot of peace knowing that everything's under control while I'm out while also making sure that my team has the support they need. But setting those times for check-ins and not just making it you on your slack all day is really important. And then lastly, we always talk about OKRs in the context of product management in order to hit all of our goals for different initiatives but we all as people need to consider our life OKRs. We have to think about our partner or our friends other things that make you feel like a complete person your family and kids, your personal health your fitness and hobbies. All of these things are important for having a successful person let alone a successful business or product think about your own life in OKRs. And if you ever find yourself really running low in any one of these categories make sure to give it some attention because that will really help prevent burnout and remind you who you are. So that's all I've got for you. I hope that this was helpful. That being said, I really encourage if anybody out there is feeling burnout or has specific questions around how to organize their day or prevent burnout or even in the thick of it and want someone to talk to please feel free to reach out to me you can see my LinkedIn and Twitter here. And thank you so much. I wish you all the best of luck as we go on to build great things and stay sane doing it. Thanks.
