I was like, well, am I going to get the product I want?
Oh, no, I'm just going to get a bunch of fucking random features that you, everybody told you you should put it in there.
Right product, right time.
What else is it?

I won't write a PRD, I'll write a prompt.
Okay, great.
Is it going to get you the right product, right time?
