» With appropriate context, those closest to the problem should make the product decisions
» Be outcome-focused and evidence-based regardless of what kind of product or service you work on
» Be careful not to automatically balance out a conflicting behaviour in others (such as a founder’s bias)
» “The obstacle is the way” – every setback is an opportunity to improve our condition
» Semantic ablation is when language outliers and quirks are averaged away by genAI
» GenAI exposes the thresholds and grey areas in your service’s decision-making
» Being able to build fast necessitates more human selectivity, not less
Early warning signs that there may be another storm brewing in tech for product managers to weather
» Bad services can arise from not realising the service and the user need have drifted apart
» GenAI shifts the focus from shipping products to stewarding living systems that are continually learning and adapting
» Delegate the same kinds of task to an AI agent as you would to an intern
» Generative AI won’t help you find product differentiators
» Evals are a way of checking the quality and effectiveness of your LLM and AI tools
» Learning their skills hands-on is the best way to appreciate specialists’ roles
» A good roadmap can be a valuable way of showing reliability and building trust
» CEOs fall on a spectrum of ‘only assigning work’ and ‘collaborating with staff’
» Master the genAI tools relevant to your skillset before someone less experienced makes you redundant
» Rank stacking has fallen out of favour because it breeds internal sabotage and mediocrity
» Orgs drift between varying degrees of horizontal and vertical ‘coupling’
» We are arguably in 3 AI bubbles: speculative, infrastructure and hype
» Better methods than roadmaps exist when there’s a broad gap between vision and execution
» A PM’s vibe coded prototype is just another way to dictate requirements to the team
» Just because you can build features more quickly doesn’t mean you should build them
» Greater strategic discipline than ever is needed to build worthwhile products
» AI may help you ship faster, but validating what you shipped still takes time
» In large complex organisations, transparent, written communication helps to avoid misinterpretation
» A strategy is just a wishlist if you never actually follow through on a decision
» What are the factors that lead us to trust someone (or an AI tool)?
» Vibe coding is great for prototyping; but for production code, dev teams still rule
