What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
What percent of developer salary would you be willing to spend on AI tooling for them? I don't want to say infinite, but for me, it's a question of opportunity cost. We're in a competitive environment. So many things that we can do. The cost of not doing it is extremely high, and it almost outweighs any sort of token cost.
How to hire the best product talent in 2026?
Honestly, just work harder than the 800-pound gorilla.
What is the new product bottleneck beyond code creation?
People underestimate this. No one in the 800-pound gorilla is extremely excited to be there.
This is 20 Product with me, Harry Stabbings.
How do system design and code creation roles differ in the future?
Now I'm so excited to welcome Jacob Lauritsen, CTO at Legora to the show today. Legora is the fastest growing enterprise company in history. They hit a hundred million in ARR in just 18 months. They're gonna finish this year at 250 to 300 million. I'm pushing them to do 300 million because, hey, I'm an investor and it's easy to throw peanuts from the side.
What is the evolving software development lifecycle?
But Jacob is one of the best product minds I've had on the show, specifically from the last crop of product leaders in this AI generation. Time to get the notebooks out. It goes quite deep into some pretty granular technical aspects, but this is a must listen. But before we dive into the show today, you know what's wild? We have AI superpowers now, yet so many product teams are still flying blind, buried in spreadsheets, chasing feedback across 10 different tools. Jira Product Discovery fixes that. I've spoken with hundreds of product leaders, and the best teams all do one thing differently. They build a system to capture ideas, validate them with real data, and focus their roadmap on the right things.
Will product and engineering teams fully converge?
Well, that's why product teams at Canva, Deliveroo, Toast, and Decathlon use Jira Product Discovery. It pulls ideas and feedback into one place with built-in tools to prioritize what will have the biggest impact. That's when a roadmap stops being an endless list of ideas and becomes a plan people actually believe in. Join more than 25,000 teams already using Jira Product Discovery. Head to Atlassian.com forward slash Harry and start building the right thing today. While Jira Product Discovery turns feedback into priorities, Finn turns questions into instant answers. As AI agents become more common in customer experience, teams often end up juggling multiple siloed tools for every job.
How to design for scalability and UX during growth?
Well, Finn was built to change that. It's a single unified agent that works across your entire customer experience from service to sales to success and beyond. Finn is the agent making perfect customer experiences possible for thousands of customers. It's powered by custom models, trained on years of real customer interactions, so it understands the nuance and complexity of customer service better than any other agent. That means faster resolutions, more consistent support, and just better experiences for every customer. It's also designed to be fully self-manageable, so you can easily improve and adapt it as your business evolves. No third parties required. Leading companies like Gamma, Asana, DoorDash, and Crypto.com already use and love Finn to deliver better customer experiences.
So see what Finn can do for your team at finn.ai forward slash 20VC. While Finn helps answer the customer, Framer helps impress the next one. You know that moment when marketing wants a landing page, design mocks it up, and engineering says, yeah, we'll get to it. Thousands of businesses from early-stage startups to Fortune 500s are choosing to build their websites in Framer, where changes take minutes instead of days to solve this very problem. Framer is an enterprise-grade, no-code website builder that works like your team's favorite design tool, and it's used by companies like Perplexity, Miro, Mixpanel to move faster, Designers and marketers can fully own the site with real-time collaboration, a robust CMS built for SEO, and advanced analytics that include integrated A-B testing.
So you're not just shipping pages, but you're maximizing what works. And when you're ready to ship, changes go live in seconds with one click. publish without relying on engineering.
