AI Codes Fast, Product Management Hits Snooze Button
Andrew Ng, former Google Brain hotshot turned Stanford prof, spills the tea: AI has unanimously crushed the slowpoke coder, making product management the startup bottleneck. Prototypes now pop out in a day, but waiting a week for user feedback is 'really painful.' Teams like Ng’s are 'increasingly relying on gut' because traditional feedback loops move at glacial, lettuce-paced speeds. And here we thought product managers were mini-CEOs—turns out they might just be the startup world's ultimate speed bump, despite Microsoft's Kevin Scott praising their role for AI feedback loops. Ah, progress!
