[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

The future of building startups:

- MVP speed (1x per month)
- AI-accelerated
- Superniche is the new niche
- Community 1st, software 2nd
- No-code 1st, some code 2nd
- 10x more automated
- Global teams, localized products
- 95% dominated by solopreneurs and microentrepreneurs (teams less than 12)
- Pop-up digital experiences (apps that only work on certain times)
- Needs the marketing holy-trinity to hit escape velocity: 1. product/market fit, 2. content/market fit and 3. community/market fit
- Team is half robots 🤖, half humans 👨‍🦰 (cc @youneedarobot)
- Accelerated by "boring marketing" (cc @boringmarketer)
- Multiple revenue streams
- Design matters. The bar is high
- Partnered w/ creators (creators are the distribution)
- Feels like a game (levels, status, badges, in-app currency, challenges, collectibles/items)
- Purpose-driven moonshots: societal impact matters
- Productized agencies to generate cashflow (ex design agency @DispatchDesign)
- Product studios become the norm
- 99% of MVPs won't need VC

Who would have guessed that all those years of disobedience and jamming to the Backstreet Boys were actually covert preparation for a career in product management? 🤷‍♀️ #tellmewhy #productmanagement

Burnout isn't just about working long hours. It's feeling you have no control over your own job. @MindaZetlin https://t.co/vEb1sowsc0

"Serving your customers right is not just about listening and reacting; it is about observing, predicting, and sometimes even challenging the status quo."

[Maret Kruve @escane]

Many of us are trained to seek certainty in our decisions, almost as if admitting uncertainty is a sign of weakness.

What if there isn't one "right way" to begin with?

We could focus on learning and adapting instead of judging and defending.

[Maret Kruve @escane]

As a product manager, spend your attention where it matters, not where it is convenient. That, of course, is going to be easier said than done #ProductManagement #customerresearch

[Maret Kruve @escane]

Product management is a notoriously demanding profession, and for introverts, it can be even more challenging. In this article, I'm writing about how I navigated the lifestyle while embracing my limits.

“ChatGPT is not a reliable writer or researcher”

[Jackson Greathouse Fall @jacksonfall]

I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.

I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.

Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business?

Psychologists have posited hundreds of cognitive biases over the years. A new paper argues that they all boil down to one of a handful of fundamental beliefs coupled with confirmation bias. https://t.co/bDDmNftq7M

[Sam Altman @sama]

here is GPT-4, our most capable and aligned model yet. it is available today in our API (with a waitlist) and in ChatGPT+.

https://t.co/2ZFC36xqAJ

it is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it.
