It’s been a two-week ‘sprint’, so I thought I would share a quick update. If you don’t know what/who Pagey is, check out my previous blog post about him here. Basically, I built a personal book recommender (Štivoje) to get good book suggestions every week or so, based on my ‘taste profile’ built on ca.…

I couldn’t find a tracker that works perfectly for me, and everything on the market seems to be missing that ‘something’… With Lovable, in 2-3 hours, I got myself a full-functioning time tracker that follows my ‘methodology’ (area->project->task), and is super minimalistic. Then I worked gradually over a few days on additional features and logic,…

“Found some stories you might want to dig into! 🐛” – Every Saturday morning, I get an email like this. It’s from Štivoje, my personal book recommender, powered by machine learning. I fed Štivoje with 334 books I liked, so that he suggests 5 new books for me, out of 52.5k titles. The project took…

What would the two have in common? Well, both are examples of interesting phenomena called selection bias, or less science-y: both trick our brains. I’ve never seen a good toupée. They all look fake… You’ll hear people comment how they’ve never seen a good toupée and how they always notice them as they look fake.…

Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking at more than 15 conferences across 5 countries. Each stage, audience, and format taught me something new. Not just about public speaking, but about product mindset, agility, human connection and even myself. As product managers, we deliver clarity out of ambiguity, align stakeholders, and…

Product management has always been a role in flux: part business, part tech, part UX/UI, part strategy, part execution. It requires just enough knowledge to bridge gaps between stakeholders, but not necessarily deep expertise in any single domain. As AI, no-code/low-code tools, and the pace of product development accelerate, I believe we’re witnessing the emergence…

As a product manager, I’m used to working in iterations, breaking down work into manageable chunks, reviewing progress, and adjusting the course when needed. Over time, I realized that this structured approach from Agile frameworks (particularly Scrum) wasn’t just useful for work. It could also help me improve my personal life. This thought was actually…

In the Autumn of 2024, I enrolled in PhD studies at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, Belgrade University. It’s been a long-term desire and opened many doors already – meeting interesting colleagues, learning a lot, working with world-class professors and mentors… and jumping into research and academic writing at a higher level. (Previously, I did…

If you’re a product person, I need your help! 🙂 For my studies, I’m doing a survey on backlog prioritization and use of AI.

In the winter of ’22, I was learning Python (trying for the N-th time), and I thought – what if we wrote poems like we write code? That’s how Pseudocode (side)project was born. As usual, I had an (overly) ambitious goal of writing a book of poems in pseudocode. (fun fact: I have a “poetic…
