Haven’t done anything with @CLRITI for a few weeks due to busy work commitment. Didn’t expect much but user growth is happening organically.

[Dan Lewis @DanLewisTech]

Every vibe coded product April fools, “we’ve been acquired”. Fools can dream ;)

[Dan Lewis @DanLewisTech]

The fastest teams I've worked with weren't fast because they moved quickly.

They were fast because they spent almost no time debating what to build next.

Clarity is a speed multiplier. Most teams are optimising the wrong thing.

[Dan Lewis @DanLewisTech]

Here's a tax that nobody talks about:

The hours a PM/founders spends rebuilding the same roadmap for different audiences.

Same strategy. Exec version. Engineering version. Sales version. Board version.

Conservatively? 4-6 hours a week. That's a month a year of reformatting the same information.

[Dan Lewis @DanLewisTech]

We could integrate or we could built out task management so that engineerings could utilise also. End to end from strategy to production?

[CLRITI @CLRITI]

Made some UI/UX updates. We've integrated Notion. What other integrations would you like? Jira??

[Dan Lewis @DanLewisTech]

A roadmap isn't just a plan.

It's a trust document.

When your team can see where you're going and understand why, they make better decisions without asking you.

When they can't, every decision lands on your desk.

[Dan Lewis @DanLewisTech]

Early in my career I spent multiple weeks crafting the perfect roadmaps.

Colour coded. Beautifully laid out. Every quarter planned to the sprint.

Presented it to the exec team. Got nodding heads.

Two weeks later, engineering was building something completely different.

The roadmap wasn't the problem. The conversation was.

There always that one idea you think ‘that one has the potential to go to the moon’ @thisisunhinged is my bet. It’s genuinely freaked me out and shocked me. I think people will be WTF.

[Dan Lewis @DanLewisTech]

New project in coming - @thisisunhinged. Having so much fun building. This one is going to be fun and shocking 😮

First project @vibingradar was first bit of fun. No revenue but not pushed it. But feel free to post you project on it.

@CLRITI is growing in users and 9 days old. Will push next week.

“We need to do everything."

Every founder. Every product lead. Every quarter.

No you don't. You need to do the three things that move the metric that matters most right now.

Everything else is noise. The hard part is having the conviction to say so out loud.

[Dan Lewis @DanLewisTech]

@AdamBartas I stopped using it and now build through cursor. Was just swallowing credits

@manudecegliee Only few days old. First 10 random users signed up but need to do some direct targeting to intended audience

The roadmap you show your board should not be the roadmap you show your engineers.

One needs themes and outcomes.
The other needs clarity and sequence.

Showing engineers a strategic vision deck wastes 45 minutes.
Showing execs a sprint backlog loses them at slide 2.

Know your room.

9 til 5 = ☑️ now for the vibe shift.

Day7 building in public - a few more users but main focus has been bugs and smooth UX. This evening will be building out marketing plan and out reach. 🚀 @CLRITI
