Career advice I find myself giving repeatedly: set up an LLM with the persona you aspire to. Feed it raw ideas; have it reframe and critique it like your target persona. From time to time ask it to write the prompts summarizing its approach - study and internalize this. Faster

Looks like Vibe came from a search for simple “metas”. But the answer is in deep product work that needs to go beyond “feeds + genai”. What makes instagram’s feed work is human creativity and connection. Remove that and you remove the soul. The opportunity in social media is

Under-appreciated: the massive leverage agents will give you when you break out of role silos. PMs who understand eng, UX, GTM can suddenly orchestrate end-to-end. Agents handle execution, but your product will win only if you have sound judgment across strategy, design &

Biggest innovation gap in AI right now is in the interface. Models evolved: text -> image -> video -> streaming multimodal Interfaces: still pretty much text + buttons for media upload and mic Whoever nails the interface unlocks new interaction paradigms and product categories

As a product builder, your alpha is in targeting the task unit that’s 6 months out for models. Aaron is right, that’s how we’ve approached models - progressively growing task complexity. e.g. code completion -> code blocks (gen, debug, optimize) -> whole files  -> multi-file ->

Aaron Levie There’s an art to building products that deliver well beyond what base models can do today - while “automatically” benefiting from non-linear capability jumps in models. Still figuring out the playbook. Will share as I learn.

AI is accelerating product bloat. Teams can ship features 10x faster, so they do - without asking if they should. Result: Frankenstein products with features bolted on, no coherent design, high cognitive load. AI gives you 80%. Your job is the remaining 20%: solve real user

People dismissing vibe coding as a fad are missing the arc. These tools are pushing deeper into the dev cycle and evolving past ‘prototyping toys’ - Models improving by leaps: code gen, design, agentic tasks - Tools maturing: better UX, self-healing, mimicking real dev

Product Managers are not paid for writing PRDs. You're paid for building products that customers love and pay for. The faster you accept this, the better you are prepared for what is happening.

To predict the future of work - think what becomes possible to build, and what second-order products and jobs emerge. Tech creates new possibilities. Social media spawned: growth PMs, influencers, creator-first agencies and platforms in their current form. Today’s PM and UX
