Hiring for LLM-Era Product Teams

Because of LLMs, the only type of people I’d hire now are what I’d call “super-unicorns” - Developer - Designer (or great design taste) - Product-focused (vs feature-focused) - Marketer - Agent expert - High emotional intelligence - 5+ years experience creating web app products - Extreme ownership (h/t @jockowillink) There are very few folks with all these traits … but I just wouldn’t want to work with someone who didn’t have all these skills/behaviors. This will keep team sizes very small. 2026 is going to be very interesting for the whole industry.
