Now

Currently

  • Trying to figure out what it actually means to be a PM when AI can do half the job. Not an abstract question anymore.
  • Building small personal tools with agentic AI — mostly to understand what's real and what's hype from the inside.
  • Learning to code seriously. Not to become an engineer, but because I want to build the kind of careful, considered software I admire.

Reading

  • Growth PM Handbook Eve Chen — finally a framework that treats growth as a craft, not a growth-hack playbook.
  • The Pragmatic Programmer Hunt & Thomas — learning to think like an engineer, not just manage one.
  • The Inner Game of Tennis Gallwey — more useful for product work than I expected. Turns out the opponent is always yourself.
  • Next up: Hacking Growth.

Listening

  • Acquired Six-hour company histories I have no business enjoying as much as I do.
  • Hidden Brain The podcast that explains why I made that decision I regret.
  • Hard Fork Tech news that doesn't make me feel like I need a shower after.
  • Music that travels — old to new, classical to EDM, Bollywood to reggaeton. Whatever the moment asks for.
