Hi there, I'm Sanna.
I'm a product lead/project manager and writer, and this is my hub for the latter. Mostly, I share personal stories from a less traditional path and opinions on tech & culture.
I'm from Sweden, based in Lisbon, but frequently in Berlin/Stockholm/exploring other corners of the world.
I have a newsletter called nuggets, sign up ↓
A Product Manager builds an app with AI (no developers harmed in the process)
When some girls go through a rough patch in life they cut bangs. I’ve had bangs for twenty years, so I built an app with AI instead. Let’s talk about it! A bit of context We live in a world where AI is everywhere, and like most people
The Recovering Productivity Junkie's Toolkit: Less fuss, more focus
In my twenties, I learned that best way to avoid doing something is to spend infinite time trying out different tools to do the thing. It's remarkably effective. Can keep you busy for years without making any significant progress. In my case, note-taking and project management apps. (Un)
My friend Claude
Kevin Roose wrote an article about “How Claude Became Tech Insiders’ Chatbot of Choice”. I’m not a tech insider and was oblivious to Claude's cult-status, but it is my AI of choice and has been since I tried it well over a year ago. Let me explain
The Perfect Bag?
My quest for the perfect bag has been a serious and lengthy endeavor, spanning a decade. Cost me more money than I feel comfortable sharing and more time on research than any reasonable person should spend. If 10,000 hours is an accurate measurement to become an expert on something,
2024 in books 📚✨
Every year I tell myself I'm gonna do this, and every year I don't follow through. Until now! Breaking this trend with actually sharing my book history for this year. I'm not going to rank them, or give them stars, or provide any in-depth
A case against apathy
On Wednesday morning a few weeks ago I woke up at 07.03. I went through my usual routine; grinding my Copenhagen coffee beans while walking around the flat, opening shutters and windows, craving light and fresh air. Brewed an espresso with some extra water. Took my cup and laptop
The business of healing ourselves
I don't know about you, but I'm starting to feel really done with therapy speak. We are constructing a fragile world where we are all broken, kids grow up thinking parents not letting them have ice cream for breakfast is a trauma, and somehow every single
Why I (almost) never recommend Wordpress to freelancers
You're new as a freelancer, or maybe you're starting a sidehustle, and now you need a quick way to set up a website. You ask for advice and Wordpress is frequently mentioned. And I have opinions.
Frankenstein's boobs
I had breast reduction surgery and now I want to talk about it. * * * It's 7.30 in the morning and I'm on my way to the hospital where a surgeon is going to slice my breasts open, cut out tissue and fat, and stitch them back
2023 in podcasts
My podcast app showed me how much I've spent listening to podcasts this year ... it's a lot guys. Almost 17 days. Yelp. As a Professional Recommender (it should be a job title, truly), here is the truffle mayo to my fries, complete with a few recommended
I won't do another Vipassana (but maybe you should)
Picture this: The Spanish Mountains. A tranquil valley, green hills in all directions, and snow-covered mountaintops looming in the background. Like at the start of a story in which the main character is blissfully unaware of the misery they are about to endure. One of these hills lies a Vipassana
Week 4: Plant based office
It's a new year! I know, 22 days late to the party, but 2023 was a lot to process, so here we are. For the past six weeks, I've been grinding my teeth trying to get an essay together about my latest (and last) Vipassana experience.
