Give them time off to vibe code 🙃
That's exactly what @BrianGreenbaum at @pendoio did over parental leave and he came back FIRED UP to change how the design + product team worked.
In this week's How I AI, Brian shows us:
- the exact playbook to get a whole team adopting AI
- how to measure AI success + adoption
- and the most important: how to get legal, finance, and security able to move fast on new tools
If you want to get promoted by being the AI leader on your team, this is the episode for you.

Alt take: Cursor feels like a company without product management. Perfect not the enemy of good. I can DM an eng at the company and get something fixed quickly. Experiments are treated like the cheap two way doors they are. Daily, not quarterly releases. Big swings but fast.
Cursor feels like a company without product management. Just devs and designers running seemingly random experiments with little higher-level strategy.
I use Cursor a lot, and it is becoming a very frustrating experience:
— The interface is cluttered with tiny icons that get shuffled around every week
— Are they building an agent or an editor? Pick one. This hybrid approach, where they pivot weekly, is frustrating
— “Everything and the kitchen sink” isn't a great way to manage a product. A better approach is focusing on the core, and make that great instead of changing/adding useless things
— Focus on stability. People use this for real work. Running into bugs and issues daily isn't the experience anyone wants
Compare this to Claude Code: one text box, clear identity as an agent. Simple and focused. It's no wonder it's growing a lot.
