For many teams, coding is no longer the bottleneck, but you still have to decide what to build using agents.

When execution compresses to machine speed, one bottleneck that emerges is the ability to make the right decisions at the same pace.

A discussion that captures this well is “The New Cost of Product Decisions,” a conversation between @TYehoshua, Chief Product & AI Officer at Atlassian, and @ElenaVerna, Head of Growth at Lovable, during the State of the AI SDLC Digital Summit.

“PMs are much more the bottleneck because when you can develop so fast, you have to pick what you’re developing and make sure you’re doing the right thing.”

Highly suggest checking this session out. You can watch it here:
