Chain of Thought How AI Velocity is Rewriting the Rules for Engineering Leaders | ChatPRD's Claire Vo
What if your next competitor is not a startup, but a solo builder on a side project shipping features faster than your entire team?
For Claire Vo, that's not a hypothetical. As the founder of ChatPRD, formerly the Chief Product and Technology Officer at LaunchDarkly, and host of the How I AI podcast, she has a unique vantage point on the driving forces behind a new blueprint for success.
She argues that AI accountability must be driven from the top by an "AI czar" and reveals how a culture of experimentation is the key to overcoming organizational hesitancy. Drawing from her experience as a solo founder, she warns that for incumbents, the cost of moving slowly is the biggest threat and details how AI can finally be used to tackle legacy codebases. The conversation closes with bold predictions on the rise of the "super IC" - who can achieve top-tier impact and salary without managing a team - and the death of product management.
