In episode #7 of "Backstage Tech", we're breaking down how AI totally flipped product development in 2025 — and if you're still building software like it's 2023, your competitors are eating your lunch while you're wondering what happened.

Pulling from 7 years working with dozens of founders across the software world, I'm exposing 5 shifts that changed everything and what they mean for your product roadmap:

• The Speed Shift — investors don't wait two months for features anymore, they want it yesterday. Your PRDs get written by Claude, your code ships via Claude Code or Codex, and prototypes that took weeks now take hours (or you're moving in slow motion)
• The Token Economy — top performing engineers are burning 80-100M tokens monthly. If your engineers are still manually programming everything, you're stuck in the past. Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and CodeRabbit now write, review, and test the code while engineers focus on architecture
• The Investor Mandate — over 80% of Y Combinator's 2025 startups are AI-powered. Investors aren't asking about price anymore, they're asking "How much FASTER can we build this with AI?" Speed is the new currency
• The Design Acceleration — we took an iPad app from zero to QA-ready in one week using Krisspy AI and generated 20 UI screens in three hours. Tools like Lovable, Replit, and Base44 now give you complete software products from a PRD
• The MVP Revolution — non-technical founders can build prototypes for $20 with AI builders, but production still needs real engineering talent. MVPs now take weeks with fractional experts + AI builders (not months with full dev teams)

If you own, fund, or lead a software product, this episode reveals the new baseline that separates founders who adapt from those who watch their market share vanish.
