How AI changed the way I approach design critiques When AI made generating design concepts almost effortless, I realized the most valuable part of a critique was no longer the interface itself. It was understanding the context, tradeoffs, and judgment behind the final design. Here’s how AI has changed the way I run design critiques—and…
AI coding agents have a tendency to generate code that isn’t particularly maintainable. They often duplicate logic, create massive files, and produce overly complex functions that are difficult for humans to understand. As these issues accumulate over time, they can turn a codebase into a significant maintenance burden. In many cases, asking an agent to…

The PM world runs on frameworks like RICE, JTBD, OKRs, Kano, and MoSCoW. These frameworks have become popular because they offer a packaged way to solve a problem through a neat, repeatable process. However, while they might give you clean, ranked answers, they often aren’t tailored to your unique context and can cause you to…
AI coding agents are useful, but they have a familiar failure mode: They often solve modern frontend problems with legacy patterns. Ask an agent to build a modal, tooltip, responsive card layout, or long-running search interaction, and it may reach for extra JavaScript, older browser APIs, or another dependency. Sometimes that is the right tradeoff.…
Last month I dived back into the foreign exchange market and noticed a little gap in how lot sizes are calculated and how slow that can be. To be sincere, as a developer, I didn’t even bother looking for an existing tool online, cause if it’s free, then there will be so many ads, and…

In web development, authentication is one…

Saying “CEO of the product” sounds a lot sexier than “product manager,” doesn’t it? For better or for worse, this is the most popular (and most damaging) metaphor in product management. A real CEO has budgetary power, a deep network, and years of cross-functional experience. They decide when and who to hire and fire. When…
