One interesting thing about adding an AI assistant to a product: you suddenly see how your users think. I recently added the EcoMoat AI assistant . It’s still very early. I’m still forming my conviction about how valuable the assistant can be for investors. But one thing became clear immediately. The assistant gives me direct access to what investors are actually trying to understand. Not surveys. Real questions. (Anonymous of course, I’m looking at patterns, not people.) Thi

For years, I was inside. VP Product. CPO. Deep in execution, living the roadmap, fighting fires, shipping features, and negotiating trade-offs. Now I sit in a different seat; advising companies while still building my own. And the shift in perspective is profound. And when I say building, I don’t mean carpentry, even though I’ve recently developed a midlife hobby for that too. When you’re inside one company, product feels tactical. Urgent. Specific.

Over the past year, something fundamental shifted. With AI, vibe-coding, and increasingly capable assistants, building software has become dramatically easier. I’ve seen it firsthand while working on EcoMoat and with my customers and partners while practicing hands on advising. I can prototype in hours. I can refactor architecture faster than ever. I can spin up new endpoints, experiments, even entire flows in a fraction of the time it used to take to teams. Execution frictio

Yesterday, Pavel Durov published a strong statement about governments trying, and failing, to block Telegram. According to him, Russia is now repeating what Iran attempted eight years ago: restrict Telegram to push citizens toward a state-controlled, surveilled alternative. His conclusion is clear; restricting freedom never works, and Telegram stands for privacy and free speech, no matter the pressure. As a Telegram user, I genuinely love the product. But as someone who has s

Even with AI everywhere, skyscrapers aren’t building themselves. And neither are products. While advising founders, CTOs, and fellow product leaders over the past few years, I’ve noticed a quiet shift. The product manager role isn’t disappearing, but it’s definitely evolving. And fast. Working on EcoMoat has pushed me deeper into this shift. AI helps me code faster, architect better systems, and even automate DevOps. I can prototype ideas in hours, not weeks. But when it com
