AI makes producing easy, so writing, editing and critical thinking matter more, say product builders
jacalulu · x · 2026-10-07
The author attended Lenny Rachitsky's packed product meetup in San Francisco, comparing notes with people actively building products.
Recurring themes from the conversations:
- How product work is changing and what's actually worth building right now;
- Resumes feeling outdated as a way to express who a person is and what they've done;
- A big recurring theme: the value of good writing, editing, and critical thinking. AI makes it easy to produce, but before sharing, make sure the output truly reflects your work and thinking — read it critically and stand behind it.
The author also met Lenny in person and a few blog readers.
