“… I’m talking about understanding software engineering. That helps you understand how a dev thinks. Another thing I do a lot is that when coding agents say they want to refactor, I accept. As I said, I want to be a good product person who knows how to ask AI, not a mediocre dev who doesn’t know the best ways to implement. This is important to understand because it goes both ways. I think devs have to feel like more dangerous people in the world of product and design.”

Originally written in Portuguese and published on LinkedIn on September 23, 2025. I translated it into English with the help of AI (Claude): it let me bring my LinkedIn posts to people who don’t read Portuguese without rewriting each one from scratch. I reviewed the translation to keep my original meaning and tone.
