My current setup for doing a product marketing job with AI: everything connected to Claude, Claude Code running in parallel, Remote Control on my phone. It turned a ten-person workload into a two-person one, but it didn't make the work lighter. Here's how it works, and what's still left for the human.
I routed my whole workday through Claude — email, Slack, research, tickets. The throughput gain was the boring part. The interesting part is what's left for me to do.
A conversation with a Silicon Valley product manager — the traffic-light framework for PM decisions, whether to validate a side project with interviews or a POC, the real inside story on DeepMind, Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta, and how hard it is to find a mentor in Silicon Valley.
A documented conversation with a startup CEO — going deep on go-to-market, the SEO engine I built at a developer platform, my own startup and why it closed, dropping out, risk-taking, and how AI is reshaping GTM and entry-level work.
Notes from a walk with Cursor's Ian Huang in San Francisco: coding agents, product validation and startups, then personal brand, education, philosophy, and how to build the life you actually want.
Paying for Linear or Jira might be one of the worst investments a company makes. A first-principles look at why PM tools exist, and what replaces them once AI can render the interface.
Ramp built Inspect, Stripe built Minions, Block built goose. Cursor and Claude Code exist and are excellent — so why are these companies rolling their own? The answer is context, integration, and ownership, and it says something about where the moat in AI engineering actually sits.
Notes from an interview with Perplexity's Dmitry Shevelenko — why every knowledge worker is becoming an executive, what Perplexity learned watching CEOs out-adopt their own employees, and why agentic checkout is overhyped.
Notes from the Crossroads podcast on Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDEs), why most enterprise AI projects fail, and the shift from selling slide decks to shipping working agents.
Anthropic says 80% of its own code is now written by Claude. I read their recursive self-improvement essay, checked the numbers, and separated what they actually claimed from the doom-spin around it.
