PM news, expert insights, Community and Conference updates, open roles, and events to help you grow your career and network.

🎫 HeyJobs: See you TMRW!

We had a great rehearsal with Daniel and Fulvio to ensure great content and hands-on learning. Here’s a sneak peek on Fulvio:

AI just collapsed the gap between Product Manager and Engineer—and most PMs aren’t ready. Fulvio went from 39 to 766 GitHub commits in 8 months, proving that AI-assisted development isn’t “smart autocomplete”—it’s a complete paradigm shift. The question isn’t whether to adapt, but how much of both roles you want to become before the industry decides for you.

📰 Product Leaders’ Wisdom

​​​​​Brought to you weekly by Leila Montazeri

• Brian Balfour shares one of the clearest roadmaps for building products in the AI era: how Reforge shipped 4 AI products in 9 months, why “learning → execution” is the real gap, and how tiny founder-led teams can outpace giants.
  If you care about AI-native product strategy, multi-product bets, or the future of product workflows, this is a must-watch.
  

• Yishan Wong, former CEO of Reddit, shared one of the sharpest AI theses of the year: most AI application startups won’t survive.
  Foundation models are expanding so fast that they swallow app functionality before startups can scale. Founders now face two real paths: make fast cash (12–18 months) or get acquired early.
  According to Yishan, the only long-term winners will be ultra-specialized niches with rare, real-world data moats. Read the full thread here.
  

• Most teams use AI to build features faster, but Roman Pichler argues that the real opportunity is using AI to build strategy.
  From market intelligence to continuous strategizing, he breaks down how AI can amplify (not replace) human judgment. A smart, practical guide for PMs who want to think beyond “AI as a tool” and toward “AI as a co-pilot.”
