Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth

Nikhyl Singhal is the founder of The Skip, a community for senior product leaders; a former product exec at Meta, Google, and Credit Karma; and a many-time founder. He’s also one of the most honest, unfiltered voices on what’s actually happening in product management right now.

In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:
1. Why the next two years will be the most chaotic period in product management history
2. Why half of current product managers are at risk, and what separates those who’ll do well
3. Why you need to find your “moments of joy” with AI
4. The “smiling exhaustion” he’s seeing across the product community
5. The psychological barriers that prevent people from reinventing themselves
6. Why your resume’s fancy logos matter less than ever, and what matters now
7. His prediction that companies will shed 30,000 people and rehire 8,000—all AI-first

Amol Avasare is Head of Growth at Anthropic, which is going through the most unprecedented growth trajectory in history—scaling from $1 billion to over $19 billion in ARR in just 14 months. Previously, Amol worked on the growth teams at Mercury and MasterClass. Before that he was a founder, and he cold emailed his way into the Anthropic role when no job listing existed. Most remarkably, he overcame a traumatic brain injury from a Muay Thai match that meant he couldn't work for nearly a year.

In our in-depth discussion, Amol shares:
1. How Amol landed his role by cold emailing Anthropic’s CPO Mike Krieger
2. How Anthropic is automating growth experiments with Claude (their internal tool called “CASH”)
3. Why the ratio of PMs to engineers might need to flip (more PMs than engineers) as AI makes engineers exponentially more productive
4. Why activation is the single highest-leverage growth problem in AI
5. Why Anthropic indexes 70/30 toward big bets (the opposite of most growth teams)
6. How he uses Cowork to detect team misalignment in Slack
7. How the company’s focus on AI coding created a research flywheel that accelerated their models

Simon Willison is a prolific independent software developer, a blogger, and one of the most visible and trusted voices on the impact AI is having on builders. He co-created Django, the web framework that powers Instagram, Pinterest, and tens of thousands of other websites. He coined the term “prompt injection,” popularized the terms “AI slop” and “agentic engineering,” and has built over 100 open source projects, including Datasette, a data analysis tool used by investigative journalists worldwide. What makes Simon unique is that he’s made the leap from traditional software engineering to AI-native development more fully and visibly than almost anyone—and he’s been documenting everything he learns in real time on his blog, SimonWillison.net.

In our in-depth conversation, Simon shares:
1. Why November 2025 was the inflection point when AI coding agents crossed from “mostly works” to “actually works”
2. How Simon writes 95% of his code from his phone now and why he’s mentally exhausted by 11 a.m.
3. Why mid-career engineers (not juniors) are most at risk right now
4. The three agentic engineering patterns Simon uses daily (red/green TDD, templates, hoarding)
5. The next leap: the “dark factory” pattern where nobody writes or reviews code and AI does its own QA
6. Why prompt injection is an unsolved security problem and the “lethal trifecta” that will likely lead to an AI Challenger disaster
7. Why the pelican riding a bicycle became the unofficial benchmark for AI model quality

Claire Vo is the host of our sister podcast, “How I AI,” a former product executive and engineer, and founder of an AI startup called ChatPRD. Claire now runs her business, podcast, and family life with the help of nine OpenClaw agents running on multiple Mac Minis and old laptops. In this episode, Claire shares her journey from OpenClaw skeptic (it deleted her family calendar the first time she tried it) to true believer, and gives a masterclass in using AI agents in real life.

We discuss:
1. The exact step-by-step process to install and set up OpenClaw (it’s easier than you think)
2. How to avoid the biggest OpenClaw mistakes (don’t install it on your main computer)
3. Actual use cases that have changed Claire’s life (e.g. family scheduling, inbound sales, podcast prep, and course management)
4. Why multiple specialized agents beat one general-purpose agent
5. The security risks everyone worries about—and how to handle them
6. Browser limitations, memory issues, and practical workarounds
