just finished @shreyas product sense course.

it felt like a cheat code for learning how to actually build great products. exceeded all the hype online!

Very grateful to have gotten to work for @kevinyien. You'll see why when you give this episode a listen...

[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

Kevin Yien (@kevinyien) is a PM I've admired from afar for a long time, so I was thrilled to have finally gotten him on the podcast.

Kevin leads product for merchant experiences at @Stripe, previously built the restaurants business and ecosystem team at @Square, and was head of product and design at @Mutinycorp. He also makes great ice cream, was a competitive eater, and teaches for fun.

In our conversation, Kevin shares:
🔸 Why great PMs need to be great writers, and how to become a better writer
🔸 Tactics for automating user insights
🔸 Kevin's "unsell email" hiring technique
🔸 Why you need to keep a decision log
🔸 Insights on AI and its impact on our lives
🔸 Why aspiring PMs should start in engineering, design, or sales
🔸 Lessons from failure
🔸 Much more

Apple has a great opportunity with Spotlight...so many people already hack this to get information and perform tasks

[Amjad Masad @amasad]

1/ most apps will start with a text box, kinda like google, which will be combination of search, actions, and questions

Stumbled upon the original iPod shuffle ad from '06. "Put some music on" is so clever

i predict apple will buy (or copy) @RewindAI if they continue their current traction.

awesome feature and would be trusted based on apples focus on privacy

best take I've heard yet

[bones @thekleschprince]

The wildest part about this: Berhalter and Claudio Reyna went to high school together. They played on the USMNT together. Reyna's wife, Danielle Egan, went to college and was best friends with Rosalind Berhalter. I seriously think the Reyna's leaked this bc of Gio...

Okay that's all for now. Reflecting on my thread I pretty much just outline the basics of product building: get the right data/input to solve a real problem in an intuitive way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[adam masters @adammasters_]

Inspired by a conversation with @aqaderb, I’ve been thinking a lot about potential moats in generative AI products.

Here is a pretty raw braindump of my thoughts...

[adam masters @adammasters_]

My guess is that with such new ways to request information/perform tasks important areas to innovate are prompt suggestions (less prompt engineering and more use case ideas) and citations/proof of truth on results.

[adam masters @adammasters_]

@jehronp this is really neat.

a cool alternative solution of this problem (when only a few static “clips” are needed) is using text replacement and shortcuts
