Did that surprise you, Lenny?
Yeah, it did.
Because there's always the sense that, you know, why do we need PMs?
What's the point?
We have AI, just build stuff.
And like my sense, I've always been saying this, I feel like the PM skill is the most important, valuable skill of all the skills.
And I know every role thinks this about their role.
It's like, no, design, we sign more than anything now.
But I feel like what you said where it's,
the deciding what to build, deciding if this is good and great and ready and prioritizing.
I feel like that's what remains.
So, uh, so to me, it makes sense.
It is so fun.
Yeah, just like progress.
You just make so much progress.
It's like, look at this thing go.
It's getting better.
There's so many directions we can go here.
One thing I want to throw out, it's kind of a hot take, and this came from a chat I just had with Amol, the head of growth at Anthropic.
So he's at a growth, he's a PM.
