Parenting wisdom for product managers, powered by Lenny's Podcast

Why This Exists

👋 Hey, this is Ondrej. I'm a product guy and dad to two-year-old Filipek from the Czech Republic. I have way too many AI ideas for someone whose free time only exists during naptimes.

When Lenny dropped 300 podcast transcripts, I couldn't resist—surely there's parenting wisdom hidden in there, right? So I asked Claude to find it. And here we are. Hope this makes you laugh. Or at least feel less alone at 2 AM when your tiny stakeholder is negotiating bedtime requirements.

The Story

As a PM and parent, I keep noticing how work concepts map weirdly well to raising kids. Managing stakeholders who change requirements mid-sprint. Seeing failure as learning. The product launch (baby delivery) being just the start. Sure, calling your toddler a "product" sounds unhinged, but the parallels make me laugh.

When Lenny dropped his podcast transcripts, I fired up Claude Code and asked it to find these parallels. To my surprise, it actually worked. The tips made sense and made me laugh. So I turned it into this (fully vibe-coded) website.

More tips are being added as Claude processes additional episodes

Don't take this too seriously. This is AI-generated fun by Claude (who's never changed a diaper) drawing parallels between PM work and parenting. Some tips contradict each other—just like real parenting advice. Your kid is unique. Trust your instincts.

Big thanks to Lenny Rachitsky for making this possible. If this adds a bit of joy to your day, let me know—it'll make mine.

Quick Q&A

How does it work?

Claude analyzes Lenny's Podcast transcripts to find parallels between PM concepts and parenting situations. Each tip includes actual quotes from episodes.

Why do tips contradict?

Because parenting is chaos wrapped in love, and PM advice is chaos wrapped in Slack threads. What works for one kid won't work for another. Context matters. Plus, different podcast guests have different views.

Can I share these?

Absolutely! Each tip has its own URL. Share away.

How It's Built

Built with Claude Code (AI building a site about AI parenting tips—very meta). Next.js, TypeScript, Vercel. About 10 hours during nap times. Read the full story on Medium →
