Zevi Arnovitz · Meta PM · ex-Wix PM · non-technical vibe coder
Zevi Arnovitz 是 Meta 的 PM, 一年前在日本看了一个 YouTube 视频, 然后 从 zero 技术背景一路走到 Cursor + Claude Code, 用一套可复用的 slash-command 工作流 (create-issue → explore → plan → execute → review → peer-review → update-docs) 独自维护一个副业 app Studymate。他把不同模型拟人化 (Claude 当 CTO, Codex 是小黑屋的 hoodie coder, Gemini 是吓人但出活的 crazy scientist, Composer 是冲锋队), 让它们互相 code review "fight it out"。一句反复出现的 口号: "you'll be replaced by someone who's better at using AI than you."

Sam Lesson · Slow Ventures partner, ex-Facebook VP Product
Sam Lesson (Slow Ventures, ex-Facebook VP Product) 把一本硅谷缺席的礼仪手册 拆给 Lenny 听: 整期的 thesis 是 etiquette = a skill for how to show up in a room with a low heart rate. 从 Kleiner Perkins holiday party 的 Energizer Bunny 反面 教材, 到 "let it hang" 的 name-recovery 技巧; 从 tuxedo Tuesdays 到 "B for bread, D for drinks"; 从 Calendarly 讨伐战到 CC/BCC 的暗语 - 一条一条具体到可以照着做. 最后在 Contrarian Corner 丢了一枚: seed VC 投 "AI 公司" 会亏掉一笔 impossibly large 的钱, 因为 OpenAI 即使到 $500B 市值, seed return 也只有 25x - middling at best.
