🚨 LEAKED:

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s thoughts on the Apple Vision Pro.

He e-mailed this to the company.

1. The reveal was news to him as much as anybody: Image
2. He called out how expensive it is:

At $3499 for the Vision Pro
vs $299 for the cheapest Quest

It makes sense.

He said Apple has different “values and… vision.”

Meta’s is to be as accessible to everyone as possible. Image
Zuck’s vision is more around “transporting around” the metaverse.

3. Zuck made a dig on the solo use cases:

He called out that demos were people “sitting on a couch by themself.”

If that’s the future of computing, “it’s not the one” he wants. Image
He apparently forgot this part.

There’s an entire standing work use case for Apple he ignored.

In this demo, the wearer clearly interacts with a colleague, too (0:30).
4. Zuck called out the wire:

He said, “you need a battery and a wire.”

The Meta Quest Pro is truly wire free for 2 hours.

So it makes sense to highlight. Image
Here’s what he’s talking about.

It’s a great point.

This device is wired to a battery pack.
5. Zuck doesn’t think Apple unveiled any new tech:

He boiled down the differences to design choices.

He doesn’t think Apple invented any new tech Meta hadn’t considered. Image
Meta is the current leader in the market by a mile, with 80%+ market share.

It will be interesting to see if Apple can catch up and overtake them.

You can bet Zuck will be spending a lot of time here.

Just when we thought the metaverse was dead and AI is the new thing. Image

CPO at Microsoft says Prompt Sets are the new PRDs.

Here's what you need to know: Image
Microsoft has a $3.68T market cap. So when their CPO @aparnacd is talking about PRDs, a lot of folks listen. In fact, many of you asked me about it.

So, let's talk about it:

1. What Prompt Sets Are
2. How They Fit In
3. My Thoughts
4. Next Steps
1. What Prompt Sets Are

Prompt Sets are collections of specific examples showing how an AI system should behave.

Instead of writing "the system should be helpful," you write 15-25 actual examples:

• Edge case A → Handle like B
• Bad input C → Reject with message D

AI killed the 10 page PRD. But the PRD isn't dead.

Here's how to write PRDs in the AI age: Image
Companies like Google are shifting to a build-first culture. And it's good. AI prototyping tools have completely changed the game, blurring role lines. Image
But that doesn't mean the PRD has no purpose!

The modern PRD is lighter, sharper, and example heavy. Image

You want to code with AI.

But you don't know what tool to use.

Here's your guide on when to use which AI coding tools:

(+ free resources to learn each) Image
1: Cursor

They surpassed $500M ARR for a reason. Your developer probably uses it. It's great for pros - but it's also great for non-technical folks now, as its agent can build things just via natural language.

Free guide:
2: Windsurf

Despite losing most of its technical staff to Google, Windsurf still exists. Now a part of Cognition (makers of Devin), it's great for non-technical people to deal with large code bases.
