## Resource

For deeper playbooks and analysis: https://natesnewsletter.substack.com/ Product management is changing as AI makes first versions cheaper. The obvious advice is that PMs should prototype more, but the deeper shift is about judgment: deciding what should exist, what should be deleted, who a product is for, what standard it needs to meet, and what the company is willing to rely on. Nate walks through the move from rationing scarce engineering to classifying software abundance, including the Prototype Commons, production class ladders, and why promotion and demotion become core product work.
