How I write product specs in 2026:
1. handwrite 10 bullets on paper like a caveman
2. hand-draw a mock that looks like a 5 year old did it
3. ramble at my cofounder for 30 min while Granola transcribes
4. feed the messy transcript to Claude and argue with it until it stops agreeing with me
5. cofounder reads the doc, leaves 7 comments. all correct. Claude agrees and contradicts itself.
6. Claude cuts it in half
7. ship the hand-drawn mock anyway because it was better than the doc and actually what eng needs

Thank you to everyone that has been a part of this journey big or small. We are 17 months in and unironically just getting started.
Chag sameach to my Jews. Passover is about breaking free of whatβs holding us back. We call it yetziat mitzrayim.
The vibe shift is to just take action. @pmarca gets it.
Every founder and CEO should read all they can about the drama triangle.
If you cannot face another person directly, you will drag a third person in and call it process. That is how companies rot from the inside.
@teddiew How much GDP do we lose every year to the follow-up that never happened, the action item nobody wrote down, and the 'I thought you were handling that' conversation three weeks later? I'd wager the 45 seconds spent kicking out Otter is a positive trade π
How many times have you copied something out of Claude into a Google Doc, only to lose all your comments when you regenerate?
That workflow is broken. @moment_dev fixes this π
