Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am 4 months into my first job as a product manager. I have never coded in my life except for a basic coding course in college. While I am always eager to understand technical concepts and tend to ask a lot of questions around the same I still feel there's a huge gap in communication. 

This leads to poorly estimated timelines, and often difficulty in assessing feasibility of ideas.

I wish to learn more about software architecture, data management systems and the development processes in general. 

While I know I lack technical expertise, I don't want to discount the possibility of this just being a communication issue within the team. This is a series B startup just entering the growth phase, so no proper processes are set up as of now - again something I will have to streamline.

My question is to all the product managers especially who don't come from a technical background - how did you bridge this gap?

I'm interested in backend development.... previously I've tried my hands on frontend dev and I was not cut for it. I've experience with Django and Fastapi. I'm looking for articles and tips on how they develop the backend solutions for the big companies? Like the structure and all the fuss associated with it. Please help......

Backend Dev tips?

Hi everyone, I am recently graduated software developer. I want to know how do you guys keep updated with the new technologies coming up. Is there any particular newsletter or blogs which I can refer everyday.

How to be better as a software developer

Software Engineer

Hi everyone,

A bit about me: I'm a 25-year-old female with a CTC of 4.5 LPA and around 2 years of experience. I was forced to resign from my first company, and currently, I don't have any job offers. Job hunting has been very challenging for me.

Due to my negative first experience, I'm scared and skeptical about joining another company. Additionally, I don't expect a significant salary hike with a switch right now.

I seek advice on pursuing a master's degree. Should I prepare for it? Is it worth it? Will it lead to a better package? I'm really confused between pursuing a master's and looking for another job. Any help, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

1. CS Fundamentals - Its a recommended flow that you should know beyond knowing how to code. 
Follow this - https://teachyourselfcs.com/

a) https://neetcode.io - Its blind 150 is awesome. Its paid courses are also decent
b) CLRS book (How can we leave that?)

3. System Design resources -

a) For beginners to experienced - https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/intro
b) For experienced folks - (codecrafters.io) https://app.codecrafters.io/r/adorable-eagle-556273 (Referral)

5. Software Engineering -
What Software Engineering truly is? - Software Engineering at Google Book(Oreilly)

6. DevOps / AWS -
a) AWS course - https://learn.cantrill.io/ - To learn more in depth than just passing certifications
b) Other DevOps resources - kodekloud.com (all devops tools, especially kubernetes ones are good)
c) What SRE truly is? - Site Reliability Engineering book (Oreilly)

7. Promotions / Impact / Growing in the role -
