With vibe coding and the rise of side hustles, many of us have become accidental (or deliberate) product managers. You're creating, but are you creating with purpose? This session is your crash course in product thinking, designed for builders who are now making product decisions. I'll share my path – from the data side of the fence, observing countless product initiatives, to finally stepping into the PM world, a transition I know many of you are experiencing.

We'll cut through the fluff and focus on the core pitfalls to avoid. We're talking about the danger of thinking you know it all, rushing to solutions, not validating ideas with users, ignoring the business model and user journey, and treating marketing as an afterthought. We'll also explore the distinct ways you guide human developers compared to working with AI tools, all while keeping the speed of "vibe coding" in mind. Let's make your building efforts truly impactful.
