At the table

Three questions.
Three rounds of coffee.

They go round the table, in order. Everyone answers. Nobody presents.

Round one

What are you building?

“A voice bot for our support line. It works until someone has an accent.”

Round two

What broke?

“The evals. They pass. The customers still hate it.”

Round three

What's next?

“Ship it to 5 people on Monday and stop reading about it.”

Questions

Good to know.

Who can come?
Anyone in a Curious PM cohort, past or present. Sign in with the email you joined with and pull a chair.
Does it cost anything?
No. The coffee and the snacks are on us. Bring the thing you're stuck on.
How often, and where?
Whenever a table goes up, usually on a weekend, for about two hours. A different café each time, and the city changes too.
How do I get in?
Pick a table and write a line on what you're building. The host answers asks in the order they come in. Once your chair is confirmed, you get the café.
What if the table is full?
Ask anyway. You join the queue, and if a chair opens up, it's yours and we'll email you.
