For a few years now I’ve been impressed with what a bunch of ops folks have been doing with low-code. Now, with GenAI, this crowd is flying. I want to talk to them.
What I’m seeing: these folks quickly pick up the tech basics they need. Modularization, atomicity, not leaving keys exposed, versioning… The first two come largely from already knowing how to design flows, which is why a good share of this crowd comes from engineering backgrounds. The other two come from a basic set of good practices, and each company will have its own. You can pick it up in a short time.
In a long conversation with Gemini, the AI gave me the definition of this as “Product-Led Ops”. In other words, someone who already: solves problems by automating, has the “I’ll build something to solve this” mindset, and isn’t afraid to operate things manually if needed. I want to highlight that last point, which, to me, is what the (vast) majority of product people do NOT have.
What I see is still missing… a better discovery mindset.
At Loft and at Pipefy I saw looots of people who were good at this and, thanks to those companies, I know it works! And if you identify with this, I’m very interested in talking with you about some opportunities at Saúde Bliss! :)
Oh, one important thing. A doer/builder mindset, and less of a people-leader one. I think that reflects my bias of always being the builder and less the latter :)

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.
