I think of this role as a context trainer.

Most leaders make decisions.
This person trains judgment.

They don't make every decision. They give the team the context and guardrails needed to make good decisions on their own.

The best ones take complex, multi-layered context and turn it into a simple story that both the team and users can immediately understand.

Not "here's the answer." "Here's how to think."

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.

@ATTlKA What do you think of our TURBO?

[Cane Yang @cane_yang]

@itsneuron TURBO always has his eyes half-closed 🥹

[Cane Yang @cane_yang]

@itsneuron Yeah, that’s probably the face TURBO makes when you call him cute 😄

@Scobleizer @danifesto I’ve sent you a DM! Please check when you have a moment

@taydotfun No, TURBO understands your vibe and plays music automatically.

[Cane Yang @cane_yang]

@deadtradess No, that wasn’t our team.
