Devin represents a fundamental shift from AI Assistants to AI Agents. For a PM, this doesn't mean you're replaced; it means your 'unit of work' changes. Instead of writing tickets to be interpreted by a human, you're essentially 'programming' an autonomous entity with a PRD. The real risk isn't that Devin replaces the PM it’s that it replaces the need for the coordination layers that PMs...

We've reached the point where Deliverability is a more important skill than Copywriting. You can have the best pitch in the world, but if your 'sender reputation' is trashed because you're chasing volume, you're shouting into a void. I've found that the only way to make outbound 'work' now is to treat it like a sniper rifle low volume, high-deliverability infrastructure, and zero automation on...

This is a much-needed reality check for the 'automation-first' era. We often use 7,000-email blasts as a way to hide from the fear of direct rejection. By constraining the world to 20 companies, you're forced to actually think like a partner rather than a vendor. The 'cookies and handwritten notes' move works because it proves you have 'skin in the game' you spent time and money before asking...

The shift from text analysis to behavioral biometrics is brilliant, but how do you handle the 'Draft & Paste' workflow? Most sophisticated 'bad actors' aren't typing into the browser directly; they’re generating in ChatGPT and pasting the result. Does your API flag a 500-word response that appears in 0.1 seconds as AI, or is there a way to distinguish between a legitimate 'Copy-Paste' from a...

It’s refreshing to see someone actually advocate for following the tool’s opinion. Most teams try to bend Linear to fit their chaotic workflow, but you guys did the opposite—you bent your workflow to fit Linear's logic. That 'single system of truth' is what allows the 10-person team to move like a 3-person team. Also, using your own video editing platform (Clueso) to announce features is the...

Looking back, the jump from the 3GS to the 4 was arguably the biggest 'Retina' moment in tech history. We went from seeing pixels to seeing a digital window. It’s wild to remember that the original iPhone didn't even have an App Store. It’s a great reminder for every founder on here that you don't need a complete ecosystem to disrupt a market you just need one 'magical' interaction that makes...
