04 / belief

I think that's it. I think we covered pretty much everything. Basically, just to wrap this up, what I do is I do a bunch of code review and then update the documentation so that everything is documented.

06 / belief

If you're non-technical like me, code is terrifying, but AI just makes it so much possible. In the next coming years, I think everyone's going to become a builder.

So what we're going to do now is we're going to execute the plan. So now I think we're going to do this with Cursor just because Composer is so freaking fast.

08 / evaluation

Going back to your prompts, understanding what was not good enough, iterating on them and then seeing how AI's responses get better, I think that's probably one of the most important things and one of the things that divides between people who are okay with using AI and the people who actually know how to use it.

It's basically just fed all of the internet. So instead of that, guiding it and giving it context on what your style of writing is and what you're trying to solve and all these different things, I think that's probably one of the biggest unlocks.

I think he was paying for Zapier and Airtable, and he's basically built a full-fledged CRM system and automation system for his business completely alone.

12 / commitment

" And the second I got home from Japan, I didn't even unpack my bags, ran to my computer, opened Bolt, opened an account, and for the past year I've been building. And the last thing I'll say on that is we talked about this a bit before we started recording, but I was prepping with Claude for the episode and I was trying to clarify what my goal is for this episode.

She's very opinionated, but also super collaborative, which is I think why I'm always drawn to Claude because I need to do so much learning and it's your dream, a very communicative, but very opinionated dev lead, but then there's also Codex.

15 / recommendation

I think if you see this where I'm working like in Claude or in Cursor, you might be excited to start using those, but I would really recommend starting slow with a GPT project, beautiful UI, super simple, then maybe graduate to like a Bolt or a Lovable, and then go to Cursor in light mode, slowly, slowly, gradually ease in until you open a terminal, go full dark mode, go full dev.

16 / recommendation

I will say that the biggest game changer for me was doing human mocks. So cold outreaching to people on LinkedIn and having them do actual mocks for me, I think that at the end of the day, especially for the Meta PM prep, which is super competitive and difficult, I think there's no way to get around that.
