Case Study Over GitHub

Created Sep 14, 2026, 1:24 PM · Updated Sep 14, 2026, 1:24 PM

PM proof is scoped delivery stories - problem, tradeoff, ship, result - not repos alone.

Key Concept

  • Case study over GitHub means interview and portfolio proof shows how you scoped, aligned, and landed work - code is appendix, not headline.
  • Resume Speaks Outcomes Not Stack is the one-line version; two written case studies carry a PM screen.
  • Green repos without narrative leave hiring managers guessing what you owned vs what the team owned.

Level 1 - Recognize

Case study over GitHub means portfolio proof is scoped delivery story - problem, constraints, decision, result.

Level 2 - Explain

Like showing the finished clinic workflow you shortened - not only the screwdriver in your bag.

Level 3 - Use

Write one page: problem, stakeholders, scope cut, date risk, what shipped, one metric or quote - link repo at the bottom if helpful.

Level 4 - Connect

Technical PM Positioning may include architecture sketch; product PM case studies lead user and business outcome.

Level 5 - Create

Reuse case studies in Career Shift Story and interview prep - same spine, different depth per round.

Examples

  • Glad I walked the PM panel through client static site scope and Friday go-live - GitHub was a footnote, not the pitch.
  • Candidate showed perfect commits but no story on who set scope - case study gap failed the culture round.

Gilas Naturalization Is Not the Answer

Gilas Naturalization Is Not the Answer

Naturalization is not the Gilas program. It is not a ban on imports. Douthit and Blatche helped World Cups. Development is the long fix.

OpenAI Is Leaving Cursor. I'm Fine With That.

OpenAI says it will stop serving models in Cursor after the SpaceX deal. I code personal projects on Composer 2.5 and will not use Claude for that work. Cursor has until November to find replacements.

Celebrate After - Or Experience Excellence at Home

Filipino sports love usually runs celebrate-after: excellence abroad, parade at home. Dec 8 is an exhibition match in a huge arena, Alex live on Philippine soil, not a tour stop or parade after the fact. I will probably watch from the couch.

One Point Is Enough for the Best Pre-Slam Show

The AO One Point Slam is sudden-death tennis with board-game tension: one point, rock-paper-scissors, amateurs vs pros. An amateur won in 2026. It returns for AO 2027 with a million-dollar prize and a grassroots path from local clubs to Rod Laver.

Song selection is teaching by repetition. A pastor protects the flock, including the follow-up when people look further on their own.
