Even with AI game genie, I have more ideas than time.

Claude utilization on my Max 20 plan increased from 4% per day to around 6% over the last few days. Let’s see how that trends for the rest of month.

Are admin dashboards dead? After 45 minutes refining and redesigning for a new mini app, I realized that moving forward, all report requests will be automated daily, potentially include a genAI UI report, and be accessed via command line or Slack. Duh. What am i even doing?

The second realization: AI sucks at PMM. I’ll make the claim rn, no model will ever fully get there. It’s storytelling and craft maxxing. It might generate word salad, but they’re empty greens. PMM is foreplay for beautiful product.

And with that, I’ll start PMM’ing this website. Whenever I roll up my sleeves and pace my hallway relentlessly, the positioning, perceptions, and idea maze balloon… both the product marketing and the product get stronger. New ideas. They feed into each other. Iterations, a/b, technical debt, pruning features.

imho, the best product minds use PMM as the gateway, a middle layer after v1 of the product. Amazon talks about starting with the press release, and that works for larger, established companies. In the 0 to 1 startup phase, I believe the dance is product → PMM → product → PR → then PMM again.

good night
