HP’s Software President on Selling a Product That Tells Customers to Buy Less HP (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HP makes money selling hardware. Faisal Masud runs a software product inside HP that looks at a customer’s fleet and tells them to buy fewer HP machines. Do not refresh 100,000 laptops on the usual cycle, it says, buy 55,000, upgrade some, and let the software manage the rest in a perfect configuration to extend the life of what you already own.That is a deliberately uncomfortable thing for a hardware company to build, and Faisal’s argument is that the discomfort is the point. You cannot deliver
Toast’s VP of Product on Building AI for People With Zero Patience for AI Theater (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most AI product stories are told from the frontier: a blank-slate startup, an audience of early adopters who will forgive a broken integration because trying cool things is the point. Maggie Crowley builds in the opposite world. Her users run restaurants and coffee shops on razor-thin margins, they are not on X, and they do not care even slightly whether something is powered by AI. They care about one thing: did it help the business today.That audience turns out to be the harder, more honest tes
Hinge’s CPTO on Building a Product Designed to Be Deleted (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost every consumer product on earth is built to keep you. More sessions, more time in app, more reasons to come back tomorrow. Ben Celebicic runs product and technology at a company whose entire North Star is the opposite: get you to leave, as fast as possible, and not come back.That is not a marketing line at Hinge, it is the operating metric. The team measures success by great dates, by whether two people leave the app and meet in real life, and Ben is blunt that if a feature does not incre
Bolt CEO on Going From Shutdown Meeting to $20M in 2 Months (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a board meeting most founders never have to describe out loud: the one where you agree to wind the company down. Eric Simons had that meeting on the calendar. Seven years in, his startup had crawled to half a million in ARR, the market it bet on had evaporated, and the plan was to spin things down by year end.One month before that meeting, they shipped the last idea on the list. In the first 30 days it went from zero to five and a half million in ARR. The month after, past twenty. A tea
Anthropic Member of Technical Staff on Leading Forward-Deployed Engineers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a number in most ambitious careers that is supposed to end the argument. Two to three times your current pay, for work that is basically what you already do. Amandeep Khurana had that number put in front of him more than once. He said no, and took the lower offer at Anthropic instead.The reason he gives is not the tidy one you would expect. He is blunt that he had not renounced ambition or transcended money. He was still on the ladder, still climbing, when he noticed the climbing had st
