Product management Memes

Shopify exec just casually ending the careers of countless "idea people" who've spent years perfecting the phrase "I'll get the devs to build that." Somewhere, a PM is frantically Googling "how to code hello world" while sweating through their Patagonia vest. The ultimate "put up or shut up" moment for those who've been drawing boxes on whiteboards and calling it "product vision."

Classic product development in four panels! The team builds an umbrella for a giraffe without understanding the actual problem. The manager asks if they discussed requirements with the user, and the dev sheepishly admits they thought "umbrella" was obvious. Then comes the revelation - the real user story isn't "build umbrella" but "keep giraffe dry" - which leads to a much more sensible solution: an umbrella above the giraffe's head instead of one held awkwardly in its... hooves? Hands? Whatever giraffes have. This is why we have user stories instead of feature requests. Because your client doesn't want a "login system with OAuth2 integration" - they want "customers to securely access their account without forgetting passwords." The difference is everything.

THE ABSOLUTE HERO WE NEED! A t-shirt that says "#NaaS - No as a Service" for stakeholder meetings?! GENIUS! 🙌 For those of us who've survived the 47th request to "just add this one tiny feature" that would literally require rewriting the entire codebase, this shirt is basically BATTLE ARMOR. Imagine the gasps when you turn around in that Zoom call and the product manager sees your silent rebellion against scope creep! It's like having a force field against "can we just..." questions. I'm literally DYING at the thought of someone having the audacity to actually wear this. The modern developer's equivalent of bringing a sword to a gunfight - except the sword is SASS and the gunfight is a 2-hour meeting that could've been an email! 💀
