Where AI Works: Conversations at the Intersection of AI and Industry · Judgment is the New Bottleneck · 7 May 2026 podcast

This has had a pretty big impact actually on my managers, where

I really am looking for managers who are player coaches, people who can get into the weeds, who can actually do IC work.

But yet can help guide other people and teach them the craft as they're going.

One of the other set of skills that I think will become more important because AI democratizes skill sets is that owner mindset.

And what's gonna end up happening is I think people actually have larger scopes of roles or larger responsibilities.

Because you'll be able to do more and you will be able to do things that you couldn't do before.

And so we're looking for people who have that mindset and that desire to take a problem, own it and solve it.

I think for for the PM role, there are some pretty standard questions around this, um around PM skills, PM instincts, uh vision.

etc.

And so there's there's standard questions that we ask around, you know, if you had to design X, how would you do it?

Or if you saw a dip in your metrics, what would you look for?

So it's those questions that we're really focusing on and trying to bring out in the interview, understand how does the person think?

What is the experiences or the lenses that they're applying to the problem that help us answer it?

I think the the way that we've started asking these questions or started m moving towards is very uh almost case based in our questioning rather than more tell me about a time where XYZ happened.

More judgment-based.

I wish I knew the answer to this question.

I think we're all grappling with it, to be honest with you.

What I have seen is that personal projects really help people get a level of depth or get a level of um judgment that they may not get necessarily in the workspace.
