the most underrated hire right now is a great product person. when i say product person i'm def not talking about a product manager. perhaps i think there has to be somewhat of a new role. i don't have a good name for it yet but maybe something like "product thinker".. someone with an intuitive grasp of the product as it exists, where it's soft, where it sings, & how to iterate it toward something even sharper. in some sense, this person has to cohesively hold in their head where this product should be 2 years from now & work backwards from that. i say this cuz when building was hard, engineering was the bottleneck & the status hierarchy often reflected that. building is no longer hard. which means the variance in outcomes has shifted almost entirely to judgment on what to build, how to sequence it, & how to talk about it. & the story matters as much as the thing. internally, it organizes the team around a shared model of why. externally, it shapes the interpretive frame users bring to their first experience. you can't retrofit narrative onto a product & expect it to land, it has to be load bearing from the start. the rarest version of this person sits at the intersection of culture & deep technology. someone genuinely bilingual. they know what's technically possible & they know which cultural currents are real vs. ephemeral. that combo is what separates products that feel inevitable from products that feel assembled. before ppl clap back with this person has always been valuable, i know.. i am just saying now they might be the most *important* person in the room. their value compounds like never before.

Most people do not avoid entrepreneurship because they lack ideas. They avoid it because they cannot tolerate the emotional violence of trying to make something real when reality has not yet validated it.

We need to stop talking about product design in absolutes… there are no rules. Everything is made up. Do what makes sense and feels right.

Pastor Dolapo Lawal teaching with Pewbeam AI’s Bible presentation software last week was a very delightful couple of seconds.

In his words, Pastor Dolapo Lawal said, “Wait, are these scriptures being sent to screen by AI, because there is absolutely no way a human can be this fast." Everyone screamed it's AI, and we had a good laugh after.

Today I am being reminded why the Black Panthers had mandatory reading.
