I swear, I feel like I need to start my posts with “I’M HUMAN” the amount of fucking bot spam in here now is mad. Anyway… I was just thinking about a post I read in here earlier about a startup employee who’s team is getting pushed hard to build with agents and they’re just shipping shipping shipping and the code base is getting out of control with no test steps on PRs etc… it’s obviously just gonna be a disaster. With my Product Leader hat on, it made me think about the importance of “alignment” across the product development team, which has always been important, but perhaps now starts to take a new form. Many employees/engineers are currently in this kinda anxiety state of “must not lose job, must ship with AI faster than colleagues” - this is driven by their boss, or boss’ boss etc. But is that guy actually hands on with Claude Code? likely not right? So he has no real idea of how these systems work because it’s all new and there’s no widely acknowledged framework yet (caveat: Stripe/OpenAI/Anthropic do a great job of documenting best practice but its far removed from the Twitter hype of “I vibe coded 50 apps while taking a shit”) Now, from my perspective, in mid December, I decided switch things up, go completely solo and just get into total curiosity mode. Knowing that I’m gonna try to scale solo, I’m putting in a lot of effort with systems and structure, which certainly includes lots of tests, claude md and doc management, etc… I’m building with care because I know that if I don’t, the system will fall the fuck apart fast. But I’m doing that because I’m the founder, if I don’t treat it with care, it’s gonna cost me… BUT An employee’s goal is different, right now it’s likely “don’t get fired during future AI led redundancies” I’m not really going anywhere with this, just an ADHD brain dump but it’s making me think that moreso than ever, product dev alignment is critically important right now and if I was leading a team I’d really be trying to think about this, i.e. how can my team feel safe to explore and experiment with these new workflows while encouraging “ship fast BUT NOT break things” tldr I think Product Ops/Systems Owner/Knowledge Management etc are going to be a super high value, high leverage roles later this year submitted by /u/Sketaverse
