Erik says infrastructure product management requires long-range strategic choices about foundational capabilities and avoiding a proliferation of similar features.

“Where do we wanna be in one to two years? 'Cause the truth is, building infrastructure is very hard. And how do we make sure we don't end up with, like, thirty-five features that are, like, kinda similar looking, but all do, like, a little bit slightly different things? That sort of level of thinking is something that, you know, is very rare to find.”

“And then for that reason, we haven't aggressively tried to build up a product management team yet. Yeah, that makes sense. How would you say your teams have been evolving, maybe, like, since GenAI?”
