#256 - The Rise of the Product Minded Engineer
Description
Matt Watson, who scaled VIN Solutions to a $150 million exit, shares his journey from coding to building products that make a real impact in the business world.
We talk about:
- Why most developers fail at launching products
- What it means to be a product-minded engineer
- How AI is exposing weak developers
- The importance of sales, customer empathy, and learning in public
“Your code isn’t the product. Solving real problems is.”
“If I have to write requirements down to the detail… I might as well just give it to AI.”
