Philosophy
What I believe.
Talk to the user before you write the spec.
Every product I've built started with watching someone struggle through their actual workflow — the shop floor, the family calendar, the Zigbee network falling over at 2am — not a survey or a feature request. Discovery isn't a phase before building. It's the thing that tells you what's actually worth building.
Ship before you're ready.
A rough v1 live beats a perfect v2 on a roadmap every time. Real usage surfaces problems no amount of planning reveals, and the fastest way to learn what a product needs is to put it in front of someone who needs it.
AI collapsed the distance between idea and evidence.
I used to write a spec, hand it to engineering, and wait weeks to find out if the idea was right. Now I can build the thing myself in a day and know by evening. That changes what product management even means when the person deciding what to build can also ship it.
Prioritization is the job, not a skill you bring to it.
Every list of what to build is really a list of what you're choosing not to build. I've killed more features than I've shipped, and the ones I killed are why the ones I shipped actually worked.
The best distribution is a solved problem.
If the product solves a specific, painful, real problem, the people who have that problem find each other and share it. That's the flywheel, and no amount of marketing spend replaces it.
