AI permeate

It takes time for new technologies to permeate. 


It took time until we understood the true potential of electricity beyond simply replacing human physical labor. 💡 


👩‍💻Soon, AI will change our working methods. Right now we are still using AI tools according to our old mindsets (search/editing/coding/simple text writing). AI has not yet permeated deeply enough to change and update our end-to-end working methods. In the near future, after we learn it (and it learns us), AI will change us and our working methods accordingly. For example, instead of searching the internet, we will directly write the prompt for the result we want to receive with the information we are looking for.



👨‍💻 I'm sharing two thoughts here on product management and the impact of AI on them:



Today, one development team is responsible for multiple products/domains, which creates identical contexts and behaviors across those products even without awareness or reason, for example in how data is stored, permission management, architecture, and UI. These contexts are positive and create a more cohesive, smooth, and accurate product. In the future, with the use of AI tools, the load on teams will decrease, and one team will be able to manage even more domains, which will increase the flow, connection, and interfacing between domains, hence a more cohesive, high-quality and accurate product. Perhaps in the first stage this will lead to layoffs but this will be temporary because the market has rigid demands.



We all tend to avoid and belittle meetings, and there's no doubt that AI has the potential to drastically reduce these interactions, but this raises a real concern that it will hurt the product more than it helps. A vital part of developing and improving the product comes from the interaction between team members. If the information is too organized and everything is too clear, questions like "Wait, are you also going to fetch this field?" or "Why don't we do it like on this screen?" won't come up, and we'll miss out on many insights and good suggestions from development/design..🐝 🥒 🐝 🥒
