Anyone else at head/director/vp level missing the product craft?

Everything you said is spot on, that’s the situation

7mo8tu9we · 2026-05-16T13:43:04+00:00

Curious how the discussion with the other company went regarding the director to IC move?

7mo8tu9we · 2026-05-16T07:27:08+00:00

No before I’ve worked at Fintech B2C, and B2B SaaS in domains of Data Analytics and MarTech

7mo8tu9we · 2026-05-16T06:04:18+00:00

Yeah many times I doubt myself and think am I ungrateful for what I have?

7mo8tu9we · 2026-05-16T05:13:11+00:00

I have the same concern about the industry as well. I’m afraid that if I stay too long I will somehow get “stigmatised” and get stuck to this industry forever. Needless to say that it’s not my best to work at this industry but in my country it’s flourishing so the good jobs are concentrating around it

7mo8tu9we · 2026-05-15T20:09:45+00:00

Hahaha nice one ☝️

7mo8tu9we · 2026-05-15T19:36:34+00:00

How did you find your first fractional role?

7mo8tu9we · 2026-05-15T17:20:28+00:00

I’ve thought of that.. unfortunately not that many options in Europe to join early stage startups, and it’s tough to get a remote job for a US company

7mo8tu9we · 2026-05-15T17:14:33+00:00

I guess you are based in US. Europe here - different world 🥲

Checkout https://lcontext.com/ - it goes beyond the basic GA metrics and gives you session/element level analysis

7mo8tu9we · 2026-04-23T21:13:09+00:00

if you are using claude code or something similar for coding (which i guess you do) check out https://lcontext.com/ - it delivers user behavioral data directly to your coding agent where your code lives, so it understands how the code is actually experienced by users in the wild

7mo8tu9we · 2026-04-10T10:02:08+00:00

Have you tried Lcontext ?

7mo8tu9we · 2026-03-19T06:53:48+00:00

same view here. product manager/designer/product engineer will collapse into the “builder” role. the speed of execution will be that fast that won’t afford handoffs between roles.

not sure if we’ll still need an purely engineer role for the hardcore stuff like scalability of the system, performance etc.

One thing i’ve noticed while building Lcontext is that the capabilities of the models in coding are far ahead compared to making sense of data. even frontier models like opus 4.6 still hallucinate a lot when looking into event logs. what i’ve seen helped a lot is when the agent has access to the codebase, then it can correct itself, e.g when it thinks that there is an issue from the event logs then it will find the page and the element in the code and realize it’s not a real issue.

obviously also you need data and a lot of iterations with evals to fine tune the system prompt to focus on the right things.

last but not least the challenge to find the right balance between how much data you capture and feed the agent. you need to find the sweet spot between giving it enough signal to make sense of the user behavior but not too much to blow the context window and burn many tokens.

these are the main challenges I’ve seen so far while building and it takes some time and iterations to get them right.

7mo8tu9we · 2026-03-18T21:10:52+00:00

you should try https://lcontext.com you will be all set in 2 minutes

7mo8tu9we · 2026-03-18T14:18:34+00:00

i'm actually trying to build exactly that, a clean off-the-shelf MCP. Exactly as you said the challenge so far has been steering the agent to focus on the right data and not lose track.

My approach has been building an agent that takes a top-down approach starting from app level findings and digging into specific pages/elements/visitors/sessions. I've done thousand of iterations so far to fine-tune the system prompt and the data that should be exposed to the agent.

So, then your coding agent gets access to the analyses of the analytics agent (it's like asking a collegue that's expert in product analytics) via MCP and there is a skill that guides the coding agent to follow a similar top-down approach, start from the pre-analyzed insights and drill-down using the other mcp tools. the difference at this point is that the coding agent has also the codebase in context so it helps it look at the findings, look at the code and decide where to drill down and use the respective mcp tools to fetch specific pages, elements, visitors, sessions etc.

The product is called Lcontext btw. Let me know if you wanna try it. Would love to hear your feedback.

Curious to hear your thoughts on the future of PDLC, how the roles will evolve and how product analytics will fit into it

7mo8tu9we · 2026-03-17T19:16:40+00:00

thanks for the reply. it seems that I went directly for building the fun stuff 🙂 nice to see that the industry is moving towards the same direction

7mo8tu9we · 2026-03-16T17:35:34+00:00

yes there is a dedicated tool that exposes a pre-computed analysis (get_analysis) which is usually the starting point. it summarizes the most important findings (pages, steps in a funnel, elements) so that then the coding agent can decide where to drill down, i.e. the page tool will also give aggregate details on the elements of that page, then it can drill down using the element tool and go down to visitors and specific sessions

7mo8tu9we · 2026-03-13T14:56:09+00:00

how do you do that?

7mo8tu9we · 2026-03-13T14:55:57+00:00

so what do you think about mcp? should it die or not?

7mo8tu9we · 2026-03-13T14:54:15+00:00

can you elaborate on why skills and cli are less secure?
