๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: Apple released its new headset, Vision Pro.

The 12 things you need to know ๐Ÿ‘‡

#WWDC23
1. It's the first Apple product you look through and not at.

It's Augmented Reality (AR) + Virtual Reality (VR).
2. It's the beginning of spatial computing.

The interface looks and feels truly present in your room. They respond dynamically to light and cast shadows.
3. It relies solely on your eyes, hands and voice.

There's no controller. You browse the system simply by looking.
4. You can get fully immersed.

If you want, you can go to full virtual reality (VR).
5. It's supported by major apps at work.

Notes, Keynote, Safari, and Messages are all customized for Vision Pro. Imagine replacing all your monitors with this.
6. It's built for multi-tasking.

People can continue working with you while you're on Vision Pro.
7. It integrates with keyboard and mouse.

So you can keep writing and doing other work tasks.
8. It's great for working remote and traveling.

Who minds if you have a headset on at home?
9. You can create a cinema environment.

You can turn any room into your own personal movie theater. Even on an airplane.
10. You can watch 3D movies.

It feels like you're looking right into the movie itself.
11. It does have game controller support.

You can use your PS5 controller if that's to play AAA games like NBA 2K.
12. It authenticates you with Optic ID

It uses the image on your Iris to make sure it's you.
I'll let Tim sign us off:

This is just the beginning.

(But it will cost you $3499.)

One thing that will remain the same in the 2025 job landscape:

Hiring managers will still ask, "Why this company?"

Nail it, and youโ€™re halfway to landing your dream role.

Hereโ€™s how to master this: Image
Over the years, Iโ€™ve worked with countless aspiring and senior PMs.

99% of them give a 4/10 answer.

Hereโ€™s where they go wrong:

1. Generic fluff โ†’ They rattle off buzzwords like โ€œinnovative cultureโ€ or โ€œmarket leader.โ€ Itโ€™s uninspired.
2. No connection โ†’ They talk about the company, but not how they fit into the picture.

3. Vague details โ†’ Itโ€™s clear they didnโ€™t research. No examples, no depth. Just surface-level compliments.

4. Lack of energy โ†’ The delivery feels more like a verbal LinkedIn endorsement.

How do the best product teams ship better and faster without things breaking?

They embed quality into every step of the development process.

Hereโ€™s how you can do the same: Image

โ†’ When: Right after youโ€™ve done your research and before locking down specs.
โ†’ Why it matters: This is your chance to clarify any confusion, resolve technical risks, and ensure alignment before things snowball.

โ†’ Win: Fewer mid-sprint surprises and last-minute changes.

PMs, you can add at least $50k to your salary by becoming an AI PM.

However, many people miss the mark, making the same mistakes over and over again.

Here are the 7 mistakes to avoid if you want to secure your dream AI role: Image

Looking to land a PM role at Google, Amazon, or Meta?

Hereโ€™s the truth: Itโ€™s not enough to just secure the offer.

You need to nail the team matching process.

Hereโ€™s how to land the team (and role) you want: Image
๐—ช๐—›๐—”๐—ง ๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—ง๐—˜๐—”๐—  ๐— ๐—”๐—ง๐—–๐—›๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—ฃ๐—ฅ๐—ข๐—–๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ฆ?

At top tech companies, landing an offer is only the beginning.

After that, itโ€™s time for team matching: the stage where PMs find their โ€œhome baseโ€ within the company.

Why this process is crucial for both parties?
Because it ensures that PMs are placed where their skills and expertise can be best leveraged to drive maximum impact and results for the team and the organisation as a whole.

There are two paths here:

The biggest bottleneck in scaling your product with enterprise clients?

Not getting your product ready.

Hereโ€™s what you need to know to transform for enterprise: Image
๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—ฃ๐—œ๐—ง๐—™๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ๐—ฆ ๐—œ๐—ก ๐—–๐—ข๐—ก๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ก๐—ง๐—œ๐—ข๐—ก๐—”๐—Ÿ ๐—ช๐—œ๐—ฆ๐——๐—ข๐— 

Many believe an โ€œenterprise-readyโ€ product only needs the basics: RBAC, SSO, SLAs, and audit logs.

These are important but just the price of admission...
Companies like @Atlassian, @datadoghq, and @SnowflakeDB have shown that winning in the enterprise space requires a fundamental transformation.

And for help in delivering this transformation quickly and cost-effectively, check out @WorkOS โ€“ they make products enterprise-ready.

This founder dropped out of college and built a $20B company.

Here's the crazy story of how Figma went from nothing to one of the iconic startups: Image
CHAPTER 1 - SOLVING THE FILE PROBLEM

In 2012, Figma's co-founders @zoink and @evanwallace set out to solve a problem that every designer struggled with:

The file problem. Image
@zoink @evanwallace While interning as a designer at Flipboard, Dylan quickly realized how chaotic design collaboration was.

This led them to ask themselves, "Why can't design be collaborative in the browser?" โ€” just like Google Docs.
