Market volatility these days be like

Everyone’s taking the wrong lesson from this. Cursor scaled to $29B without traditional PMs because they’re building a developer tool for developers. Ryo can walk through the entire product with engineers because engineers are the customer, the user, and the builder. The feedback loop is immediate and everyone speaks the same language. That model breaks the second you’re building for non-technical users. Product decisions require understanding customer jobs, translating between technical constraints and user needs, prioritizing across conflicting stakeholder demands, and maintaining strategic coherence as the team grows past 50 people. Cursor gets away with fuzzy roadmaps and fluid roles because every person in those concentric circles (staff, beta users, early adopters, enterprises) can evaluate a live prototype and tell you exactly what’s wrong. They’re not guessing about user behavior because the users are technical enough to articulate precise feedback. Most companies don’t have that luxury. Your users can’t code. Your stakeholders don’t understand API latency. Your go-to-market team needs a roadmap that sales can commit to. Your support team needs documentation. Your compliance team needs audit trails. The Cursor model works when the product is the development environment. For everything else, you need someone translating between what’s technically possible, what’s commercially viable, and what customers actually want. That’s the PM role. Copying Cursor’s structure without Cursor’s context is how you end up with features nobody asked for and engineers burned out from scope creep.

AI notes here, AI notes there, Pages and pages — more than I can bear. Long and winding, they go on and on, But oh, how I crave them crisp and short

Twitter should add a direct CTA to ask “is this true?” to perplexity or Grok

YESSSSSS!!!

Much needed

One of the most important skills to learn as a founder is how to use Mixpanel—especially with a very small sample size. This is not something you can delegate because only you will be obsessed enough to make sure your insights are valid. Almost everyday I see founders get deluded into thinking: A. They have an onboarding problem—that was actually triggered by internal debugging sessions by the devs, or B. Their onboarding is working—but they are not properly tracking logged-out users C. Users are sharing their app—but they are just tracking attempts and not the final send events At the earliest stages, you must be using a patchwork of filters to remove users and constantly be auditing individual sessions to see what is actually happening during apparent drop-off. Whenever I see someone who is a jedi in Mixpanel, I suddenly trust their assumptions 10x more.

The most profound shift in my relationship with emotions came when I started viewing them less as states to manage and more as visitors to host. Each feeling arrives with its own intelligence, its own temporal logic, its own way of moving through the body. Anxiety isn't just worry - it's a highly sophisticated threat-detection system, scanning the environment for subtle patterns my conscious mind might miss. Grief isn't just sadness - it's a complex process of metabolizing change, of integrating loss into the larger story of who we're becoming. Even anger, which I spent years trying to smooth over, carries its own wisdom about violated values and crossed boundaries. There's something liberating about treating these emotional visitors like respected guests rather than intruders to be controlled or eliminated.
