  • Disgruntling

    It’s all good but the entire premise is just a terrible glorification of the problem we’re facing which is soulless hyper acceleration and fetishization of product.

  • AI

    This show used to be so informative and interesting. Now it just becomes an ad channel for AI companies to promote their products. What happened to the hard questions? Are tech people this basic nowadays?

  • Some nuggets but a lot of filler

    There are one or two great episodes but sadly too many episodes are way too long. And to be frank too many episodes should have been killed before releasing.

To take another recent example the episode with Shreya and Hamel about evals: the useful information in this episode was excellent but could have been communicated in less than 5 minute... more

  • All AI buzzwords and hype now

    This podcast used to be a really valuable source of info and advice for Product Managers, but over the past year it’s degraded to just be shilling AI products and inviting the snake oil salespeople to sell their products. Lenny’s lost the plot with all the AI hype—go back to fundamentals, talk about AI only when it’s relevant, and stop inviting unrelatable corporate execs to build their brands.
