I started as a developer and now run a small company. For the past 5 years I've been spending most of my time on planning and product decisions.
About a year and a half ago I started using AI heavily in that process. What used to be endless searching and asking around is now me debating problems with AI and shaping direction together. It's also great for building quick prototypes to communicate with developers and designers.
Since execution got so much faster, I can focus on the business itself. We even shifted our whole process from long-term planning to short-term cycles. It's been very effective.
But it's hard. There are just so many things I've never done before.
