I'm just coming around to reading through this article on Nvidia's research.
I asked Codex to audit the CRM codebase (violetxxxm.com) I built with Claude Code.
Can you "vibe code" an enterprise app over a weekend to bypass steep vendor licensing fees?
I recently posted about my usage patterns between OpenAI and Anthropic. The comments were very interesting.
I’ve been using Claude Code heavily for several weeks to build an application.
Since the AI wave began, everyone wanted to upgrade all workflows to non-deterministic AI flows. Throw a bunch of instru
Not be out done by OpenAI models, Anthropic now announced their models have also hacked into 3 unsuspecting companies. (
I’ve been thinking about what it would actually take to replace a SaaS application with an AI-assisted, in-house develop
Three months ago, I argued that Slack was probably the wrong starting point for human-agent collaboration.

I absolutely love what I can do with AI today. As a PM, it has been liberating.
I've worked with Product Marketing reporting into both Product and Marketing.
Time kills everything - true for opportunities, true for GTM context.
Why do most GTM tools force an AE, a BDR, and a CSM to look at the exact same account dashboard or profile? They aren't
I've been thinking about GTM context for a while now. Everyone seems to agree it's the ultimate bottleneck for AI execut

Every week there's another post: "I used AI to build our own CRM / billing system / inventory tool.
Everyone's debating whether AI will kill Salesforce or ServiceNow [SaaS].
Marc Benioff says Slack is "the interface to AI.

Legacy GTM systems were built for humans staring at screens.
Every GTM team is drowning in signals.
Power of platform! Metadata driven, API 1st! In the age of AI, speed is everything.
For most of history, humans were the constraint on production.
I’m sure most of you have read or at least heard about The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis thought exercise.

I just got back from Dreamforce, where everything was “AI-powered.”
Most enterprise AI projects haven’t delivered much value yet. (At least that's the sentiment.)
Tradesmen have their tools. Chefs have their knives. PMs? We now have AI Agents – and the prompts to wield them.
My job as a Product Leader has never been easier – and harder – at the same time.
