I'm building an app where the user has to input a domain as part of one of our user flows. For safety/security reasons, I want to integrate with an API that can check if the domain that the user has input is scammy, spammy, or contains other malicious content. I was looking into Scamadviser (https://www.scamadviser.com/scamadviser-api), but does anyone have recommendations for any other potential APIs or tools?

As a PM, I believe that one of the things that I should focus on making my engineers’ lives easier. I care deeply about our engineers not having a shitty experience with me as the PM on the project. For example:

- I never set meeting times with my engineers that will interrupt their working flow (I love PG’s “Maker’s Schedule, Manager’s Schedule” essay)

- I always try to clearly explain the “why” of what we’re doing, provide detailed designs/documentation, and remove any blockers when any arise

- When possible, I try not to force engineering shortcuts or trade-offs. I prefer that we build features or systems that are well-tested and clean

What have the best PMs you’ve worked with done to make your life as an engineer easier?
