Control group: a two-hour roadmap review meeting. Six people in a room (virtual). We debated features. We argued about timelines. We discussed dependencies. We left feeling productive.
Test group: We fed the same roadmap into Claude. No slides. No politics. No one trying to protect their pet project. Just the raw plan. The prompt: "Analyze this roadmap. Identify the three most likely failure points. Use first principles reasoning. Assume we will follow your recommendations without ego. If you need more data, ask for it."
Today, I m doing a slightly more relaxed and bizarre corner.
The internet is full of things that are either amusing or scary, but mostly things that capture something outside the norm (and over time, even these weird things tend to become normalised).
At the beginning of the year, 2 co-founders reached out to me because they wanted to scale their personal LinkedIn profiles. The reason: In a few months, they re planning to raise funding and believe their personal brand could help.
A few days ago, another founder contacted me with a similar intention, although he s not planning to raise funding. For him, LinkedIn has become the platform that generates the most leads. He doesn t particularly enjoy the network itself, but he still wants to keep building it.
