Finding Bolt overly opinionated, Zevi moved to Cursor for full control and the latest model capabilities despite needing to make more decisions.

Zevi explains Base44 removes product-build guesswork by auto-choosing auth and DB, sacrificing flexibility that Cursor restores.

He prompts a dedicated CTO agent to own all technical decisions, push back on ideas, and require planning before any code is written.

Zevi cites this viral motto as a reminder of modern execution speed.

Zevi keeps distinct life and work contexts separate by using GPT Projects with shared instructions and knowledge bases, preventing memory cross-talk.

After every AI mistake Zevi asks what in its prompt or tooling caused it, then updates documentation or commands so the error never recurs.

Zevi runs slash review with Claude, Codex and Composer then invokes peer review so the ‘dev lead’ model defends or fixes issues until no bugs remain.

Zevi wrote a basketball-game chant embedding his phone number and discount hook, turning spectators into customers in real time.

He notes PMs must sell AI adoption to sceptical developers and jointly refine workflows to become AI native.

After failing a product review, Zevi learned that early-career PMs are expected to learn rapidly, not be instant experts.

Zevi uses Claude as an on-call CTO that scans files, asks clarifying questions, and decides implementation details during the exploration phase.

He divides work so fast Composer handles simple backend tasks while Gemini 3 manages UI, matching each model to its strength.

Zevi argues PMs succeed by leveraging tools like AI and seeking help, not by always having answers themselves.

Zevi outlines a create-issue, explore, plan, execute, review, peer-review, docs pipeline powered by reusable slash commands in Cursor.
