solid product syndrome

When a tech product (such as an app) works so well already that they actively make it worse by implementing features no one needs.

Yeah, Discord is definitely suffering from solid product syndrome.

Natural Product Synthesis

The specific challenge of creating, in the lab, compounds that are normally made by living organisms—medicines from plants, flavors from fruits, colors from insects, fragrances from flowers. Natural product synthesis is how we save endangered species (by not harvesting them), ensure consistent supply (by not depending on weather), and often improve on nature (by creating analogs that work better). It's also incredibly difficult—natural products are often complex molecules that evolution optimized over millions of years, and replicating them in glassware requires genius-level chemistry. When successful, natural product synthesis gives us steady supplies of life-saving drugs, consistent flavors for foods, and the satisfaction of having out-designed evolution, at least in one small molecule.

Example: "The cancer drug came from a rare Pacific yew tree—harvesting it was killing the trees. Natural product synthesis saved the day: chemists figured out how to make the molecule from common starting materials, and the yews could breathe easier. The synthesized drug was identical to the natural one, just without the deforestation. Nature had provided the blueprint; chemistry built the factory."

Microsoft Product

Any product that is poorly designed, easy to hack, bloated, annoying to use, laggy, full of unwanted features, or prone to frequent malfunction.

Not always necessarily a Microsoft product or even any kind of software.

“Sorry I’ll be a little late to the meeting, Teams is being a Microsoft product again.”

“That new game I got off Steam last month crashed five times while I was trying to play it. What a Microsoft product.”

“My new bike’s frame has already started to bend and break like the Microsoft product it is.”

When a squeeze bottle is low on product and makes fart sounds when you squeeze it.

We’ve got ketchup in the fridge, but we’re almost out and it’s farting out product
