Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · Why half of product managers are in trouble | Nikhyl Singhal (Meta, Google) · 19 Apr 2026 podcast

So product leaders will increasingly get paid and be asked to drive judgment and then be the tip of the sphere on trying to essentially obsolete everything else through software, through AI.

through agents.

And this is partly why there's a lot of excitement.

Because just to be very honest with you, and you were a PM and I was a PM, most of the stuff that you didn't like doing are the things that AI is really taking a real crack at.

And so I think that's super interesting.

I think that there's a ton of that change that's going to happen.

Some companies are doing it now.

Some companies will do it.

But within two years, I think most of these companies will obsolete all the mechanical parts of building product.

I think that...

there will be 10 to 100 times more changes that will be presented to products than ever before because now the cost of testing something, the cost of changing is going to be much, much lower.

And so when things are changing that rapidly, that judgment piece becomes pretty much paramount.

I think that it's sort of evaluating whether the thing that we're changing is a good or bad thing.

I think that it's also evaluating whether we should change the product in one way versus another.

You can't build 100 custom versions of the same product.

It affects your brand.

It affects the maintainability, et cetera.

So when customers are asking for things, when you're trying to think through how do you build something that's sustainable, differentiated, that's judgment.

and and evaluating whether it's successfully met that criteria whether it's worth building and worth releasing it's almost like the system skill that's existed from the beginning of the internet it's you know hey it's not about the feature it's around the system that we're putting together the platform if you will that's you know kind of uh enabling capability right so that's the the judgment of boy there's all these changes coming in they're going to happen more frequently

You know, as an aside, because of all these changes, I think that in two years, I think there won't be any more bad software.
