Tests Pass. Does It Think?
When AI writes the code, green CI isn't enough. The new discipline is understanding and defending the choices the model made — not just the ones you made.
The E-Shaped Product Leader: Stacking Skills Beats Silos
AI collapses the cost of cross-domain competence. The career advantage belongs to people who stack skills, not the ones who go deeper in a single silo.

Most AI tools are deployed but unused. The friction isn't capability. AI lives in a separate tab instead of where work happens. Build inline, not destination.
Taste Is the Last Skill AI Can't Commoditise
AI commoditises execution. The scarce resource is knowing what to build, for whom, and when to stop. That's taste, and it's the career bet worth making.

Agentic coding compressed the PM translation layer to zero. The three skills that matter now: problem shaping, context curation, and taste as judgment.
The 17x Advantage: OpenAI's Product Builder Gap
OpenAI's enterprise data shows the top 5% of AI users send 17x more coding requests than the median. Three stats redefining how teams should get enabled.
