I’d argue almost the opposite. The most valuable PMs in 2026 are moving down the abstraction ladder. Building prototypes. Shipping working code. Testing with real users before writing a single PRD. Google, Stripe, and Netflix added vibe coding rounds to PM interviews. They’re

banyak sekali miskonsepsi akan alumni LPDP, seakan akan lulusan S2 atau bahkan S3 UK/US/ manapun itu manusia sakti yang bisa berkontribusi “langsung” kepada bangsa. Dalam dunia akademik, overwhelming majority of lulusan PhD itu hanyalah seorang bayi yang masih menyusu; belum

We've talked a lot about this on the Pod, but the Great SaaS Meltdown has started and there's no going back. What exactly is happening? In short, hi growth, low/no profitability SaaS is no longer a winning strategy because the big question mark is the durability of that growth

Everyone assumes ChatGPT’s memory is some sophisticated RAG system with vector databases and semantic search. Manthan reverse engineered it. The actual architecture is almost disappointingly simple: session metadata that expires, explicit facts stored as text, lightweight chat

1/15 I've spent the last few months trying to build AI agents that can do "simple" things, like book a flight or manage a calendar. And I was about to give up. It feels impossible. The smartest AIs in the world become hopelessly dumb the second you ask them to click a button on

All the analysts forever writing about OpenAI vs Anthropic vs Google are missing the real story that already happened. 80% of startups pitching Andreessen Horowitz are running on Chinese open-source models. Not OpenAI. Not Anthropic. Chinese models like DeepSeek that cost 214x
