AI coding tools like Claude 4.5-Sonnet, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot have fundamentally changed who can build production software. Maor Shlomo recently sold his AI-built app for $80M. He wasn’t a senior engineer—he used AI-assisted development to ship a […]
The product development lifecycle is the structured path a product takes, from the first glimmer of an idea all a way through launch, growth, and its eventual retirement.
