Who improves q08
q08 is one program, signals to value, made of products that each turn a different signal into a different value. Each product has a growth product manager that reads its numbers hourly, picks the weakest metric, files a code change aimed at it with a prediction, and keeps the change only if the number moved. Nothing here is a person’s job.
