Lenny Pruss, General Partner @ Amplify Partners, joins the pod to share insights with Jerry on why engineering leaders have a unique founder advantage & how to capitalize on that by using their lived experiences to solve important problems. Lenny discusses how to build an effective go-to-market narrative and how to use community insights to both shape the product roadmap and market your product. He offers his perspective on the role of AI in the software development cycle – and what skills and features are impossible for AI to automate. Lastly, Jerry and Lenny highlight strategies for scaling, identifying opportunities, and navigating AI fatigue.
