The pressures on tech workers to "democratize disciplines" and "become generalists" has enabled the rise template ronin - grifters peddling simple, quick, and cheap "solutions" that don't actually fix anything.

Together with their loyal AI squires, template ronin leave a trail of destruction for the rest of us to clean up.

In my latest issue, I go over how to fight back.

Learning “best practices” by rote has produced a cohort of shallow generalists. Solving real-world challenges requires tailoring your methods to the problem's unique context.

"Build-measure-learn" - the premise of Big Tech development teams - is an ideology of waste. In reality it's "build, build, build" and all the stuff after that is an afterthought.

This week's issue covers UX designers who are finding ways to start with "learn" instead of starting with waste.

The building blocks of feedback loops are learn, design, build – in that order. It's Design's job to create these loops, because no one else will do it for you.

Join me tomorrow (Tue) evening in my talk on "Probabilistic thinking in Product Management".

Probabilistic thinking is a core skill in digital business and Tech when it comes to decision making under uncertain conditions and limited data.
Gazillion of prioritization frameworks won't do much (except damage) if we don't understand the underlying principles of decision making.

GET ME HIRED

Hi, #seattle friends in #productmanagement or whatever hashtag makes sense.

I'm looking for a job (like many Seattleites lately). I'm not asking for a contract or money or anything like that, but if you can squeeze me into an interview related to writing, reading, and leading software endeavors, please do!

All the PMy stuff, all the soft skills, and a bunch of hard ones, mostly around React/TS/JS/Node, security, cloud, cloud security, and even some Rust!

Grifters gonna grift

I think “vibe coding” ignores the best, most effective form of #ProductManagement and high-performance #software engineering.

Spoiler alert: there's a dearth of both of those things.

Scarcity drives up price, not my rules ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As creating software from scratch becomes increasingly accessible to professionals without traditional computer science backgrounds, I’ve noticed a rising wave of criticism from some corners of the development community. Terms like “vibe coding” get thrown around dismissively, with claims that such approaches are sloppy, misguided, or inevitably lead to more trouble than they’re worth. But here’s what often gets missed in that critique: “vibe coding” only falls short when you skip the critical step of reflection and deep understanding. There’s a growing trend of professionals jumping into software development, starting with no-code tools like Zapier and advancing to platforms like Replit or sophisticated AI agents like Claude Code (Anthropic’s brand-new coding agent currently available in a research preview via terminal—and frankly, one of the most powerful AI tools available right now). Often, people get stuck after building initial versions because the next steps become unclear or overwhelming. The key insight here is that no matter how powerful these tools become, genuine understanding remains essential. This week, I spent a few hours using Claude Code to build a project in TypeScript—my first significant effort with this language. My inputs were minimal: a transcript from a client call, some external API documentation, and my judgment. Iteratively guiding Claude Code through verbal prompts, I eventually reached a working solution. But I didn’t stop there. The most valuable part came afterward: a deliberate 90-minute debrief session, going line-by-line to ensure I genuinely understood the system I’d built. I wasn’t afraid to ask seemingly “dumb” questions (“How does NPM actually work?”) until the black box became transparent. Previously, I’ve effectively learned by generating code with ChatGPT, then manually integrating it piece-by-piece, forcing hands-on engagement to grasp the underlying mechanics. When working at high levels of abstraction, there’s always a risk of building something you don’t fully understand. This can quickly spiral into confusing spaghetti code, creating immediate headaches or long-term issues. The solution? Be disciplined about regularly reflecting alongside your AI assistant. Aim for “100% conceptual coverage”—clearly understanding every piece of your system at a conceptual level. This discipline prevents costly pitfalls and empowers sustainable growth as a builder. Remember: Good software, like good management, requires both the 30,000-foot vision and the 3-foot detail.
