Show HN: Management as a service (medium.com)

This isn't management. This is product management. This might be useful, but don't conflate it with the kinds of benefits that come from having an experienced team & business manager (using the generally accepted definition of "manager").

That said, I'd be interested to hear from people if they would find this sort of SW-dev bot/nagware useful. To me I'd imagine it could come across as similar to the kind of micromanagement people resent from flesh & blood managers.

You are right, it wasn't 100% accurate.

As for the usefulness so far it works great as it helps the team get synced.

I'm probably a bit jaded in regard to Medium, but I feel it took me a really long time to realize there was actually some substance behind the article, i.e. an actual product. The link to the product is pretty far down and well after a lot of things that "aren't about me and my problems".

Good luck.

Just got this setup on our Slack channel. The setup was a really pleasant experience. Well done!
Thanks :)
This is standup-meeting-as-a-bot, not management as a service.
