Test-n-Tell - tiny apps, Big ideas

Values-driven, data-informed. That seemed to be the trend in this year's Mind the Product conference. More than 1700 product professionals gathered in London this year for what currently is the biggest product conference in the world.

Lately, going through fellow PMs profiles, I noticed that we almost exclusively talk about stuff we've built and practically never about things that we avoided building.

- We're discontinuing the product effectively on... - Noooo, I love this product. Please! Why?! That's my usual reaction when one of my favourite products is killed. Google Reader, Pebble, iGoogle, iPad mini, Google Inbox... yeah, Google has been a real "serial killer" when it comes to discontinuing products and services.
