AI tools won’t replace your dev team.
But they will change how PMs build.
In this episode of Everything Product, Phani and Srinath break down what really happens when you try to build a functional product using wipe-coding tools like Lovable, Supabase, Firebase, and Replit.
They tried to build real workflows. With real APIs. And real deadlines.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
