EP 158 - PM First Principles in the age AI with Matt & Moshe

We’re kicking off a new series with a very timely question: what does product management look like in the age of AI? In this first episode, Matt and Moshe set the stage for *First Principles and Beyond for Product Managers in the Age of AI*, exploring how PM work is changing, what should stay human, and where AI can genuinely help.

The conversation ranges from Matt’s work implementing software for government agencies to Moshe’s hands-on experiments with AI coding tools like Cursor, Kirk, and Claude Code. Along the way, they dig into the tension between speed and judgment, debate what “product sense” really means, and start shaping the core theme of the series: identifying the first principles of product management before layering AI on top.

Join Matt and Moshe as they explore:

- How product management is evolving as AI becomes part of the workflow
- Why human-centered value delivery still matters, even when tools can generate work faster
- What “product sense” means in practice, and whether it can be defined as a set of first principles  
- Experiments with AI coding tools, local development, and the possibilities of building faster with more leverage
- The idea of using AI to augment product work without removing human judgment from the loop
- Bring it to the audience by polling where PMs should remain involved, and where AI can take more of the load
- And much more!
