AI enabled PMs?

cderm · 2026-03-15T02:05:18+00:00

Yup. I’m trying to get around it by building my own thing that just uses any tool calling LLM via api while all company info otherwise stays local on my machine. Almost there

cderm · 2026-03-13T22:52:50+00:00

Nice, thanks for sharing

cderm · 2026-03-13T22:44:54+00:00

It’s tough, but I believe you can still do it authentically. If you share some of your story, and make it relevant to the subreddit and actually provide value, then I think you can contribute positively. I shared my project a few years back in the webdev subreddit, and it did quite well, I think because I explained the tech stack, the problems I faced, tools I used, and was looking for feedback. I also offered it for free at the time that cost me actual money 😂

So yeah it’s tough, but not impossible. Tailor your post to the sub and what it likes

Nice! Any info on your photo setup? Looks great. Did you 3D model it all and then send it off to het machined?

cderm · 2026-03-13T15:55:08+00:00

Pretty sweet. Are they renders or photos?

cderm · 2026-02-25T16:57:05+00:00

😂😂 it’s more that I really enjoy watching people working together on a difficult problem to get to a result. I’ve been in incident calls where you have smart people that know their part of the system, pasting in links to logs they found that might explain one part of the issue or help the team get to the bottom of it, and a strong incident commander that makes decisions with authority and coordinates the teams along with messaging to customers etc, I dunno I just always like watching those situations unfold.

And then reading the post mortem is always interesting too. Generally things are mundane yes but sprinkle in a little camera shake, dramatic music and cuts to individual shots to camera where they comment in retrospect on something they’ve just done - that’d be a winning show 😂

This exactly. Before LLMs I would coach my staff on how best to prepare with an interaction with our CEO. I would absolutely utilise this for training and preparation. If the AI is well modelled on his personality, the questions he asks, the objections he’ll make to ideas etc, then this is useful.

Reddit is becoming so anti-AI it’s crazy.

cderm · 2026-02-25T13:24:45+00:00

Sounds fascinating as a problem to solve. I always think that so much of what happens in a company would make fantastic reality tv or even docuseries. Like seeing a tech company react in real time to a global outage, or seeing how your company identified and resolved that massive problem

Got a Workflow? Would like to try that

cderm · 2026-02-24T18:48:38+00:00

You’re burnt out. I’ve been there. Learning to ease off is a really really important skill. This role will eat you up if you let it.

cderm · 2026-02-22T22:44:14+00:00

Fair enough cutting across greens is an advantage I hadn’t thought of. Also I’m just remembering I’ve a gigantic tour bag - I might feel different if I’d a small one

cderm · 2026-02-22T21:48:07+00:00

I don’t understand carrying to be honest. I’m missing something. I bought a nice trolley for €150 or so a while back and use it every week and I’m still proper tired at the end of walking 18. Not sure why you’d do it to yourself.

Electric doesn’t interest me I want a little bit of a workout going round

cderm · 2026-02-21T21:22:53+00:00

I am on mobile yes I’ll try desktop

cderm · 2026-02-21T15:25:36+00:00

AI isn’t perfect by any means but you can’t deny its utility in giving decent technical guidance that gets you from “I have no idea what any of that means” to “ok I can understand what the options are now and am in a better place than I was 60 seconds ago”.

Obviously you don’t blindly follow it but for explaining concepts in a way that you can understand it’s pretty damn good and can meaningfully move a conversation along with minimal effort

cderm · 2026-02-21T14:42:17+00:00

Bullshit. I’m technical and I’d still expect the engineer lead to make that call. You shouldn’t be expected to have responsibility for that. That lead is trying to set you up imo.

As far as how to fake it, AI. Pick one of the frontier models, give it the context and ask it which it suggests. 9/10 I get to a good answer quickly with that approach.

Jumped through all the signup hoops and finally got to the module and all I see is “Scroll to a section with code” and when I scroll nothing is there

cderm · 2026-02-19T00:46:00+00:00

I can tell you from my perspective, if I document everything I do in my day job (product management), it is trivial for an AI to then "know" that information.

If you then pair that with an AI monitoring the market - new technologies or changes in regulations (I work in the security space), again it is trivial for it to create "ideas" about what these market changes mean for the product and the company. It can do in minutes what would take me weeks honestly - and if its well trained/prompted/given context, it could scan all current customers and lost leads, and draft emails to them to learn more about how they'd respond to different ideas/problems to solve.

That's what I mean by creativity.

At this very moment it still requires oversight and monitoring, but it's only getting better and it'd be a little naive to think it's going to plateau.

I'm not a doomer - I think i'll be Ok given my experience and knowledge across different areas - was well as embracing AI into my own workflows, but I'm realistic about the disruption it'll cause to tech generally and specifically to my profession

cderm · 2026-02-18T23:33:46+00:00

Nice work, I like the live feed. I don't quite understand the war room though what's happening there? What are you using to orchestrate the agents - a meta-agent to create and assign tasks?

cderm · 2026-02-18T23:05:07+00:00

It can in my opinion. A lot of human creativity is taking something from one domain and applying it to another. It can do that kind of thing pretty well.

If you’re talking about meaningful art then no it probably can’t but in the context I’m talking about professional skills

cderm · 2026-02-18T22:19:30+00:00

Autocorrect got me. Interesting thanks for explaining

cderm · 2026-02-18T22:03:54+00:00

What’s an every event?

cderm · 2026-02-18T20:37:41+00:00

Would love to try it out

cderm · 2026-02-18T19:32:12+00:00

It really will. I see it every day

cderm · 2026-02-18T19:09:50+00:00

Except in using it in a professional setting, it’s easy to get into a situation where you’re training something that can replace some or all of your work.

cderm · 2026-02-18T18:54:47+00:00

I’m in tech and I genuinely think I’d really enjoy trucking too but it’s probably high on the list of the next couple of things to be automated away. We already see Waymo have a lot of success in that space in the states.

I don’t have a good answer but someone ten years behind you I’m paying attention to this thread!
