The PM stack is being rewritten weekly. We keep track, so you don't have to.

A hand-curated index of GitHub repos, articles, MCP servers, and long-shelf reads — filtered for substance, not volume. Built by a PM, for PMs. No ads, no affiliates, no newsletters to sign up for.

Things I keep coming back to. Changes rarely. If you only read one section, this is the one.

title type why it's here by
Continuous Discovery Habits amazon.com book Required reading before picking up any AI discovery tool. The mental model shift, not the tactics, is what stays with you. Teresa Torres
The Beautiful Mess substack newsletter John Cutler writes like no one else in product. Uncomfortable, honest, systems-level thinking. The opposite of LinkedIn thought leadership. John Cutler
The Pragmatic Engineer substack newsletter Essential if you work with engineers. The best writing on the PM–eng interface, grounded in how software actually gets built. Gergely Orosz
Reimagined: Building Products with Generative AI amazon.com book 150 use cases, 30 case studies. The most practical AI product book written by people who actually built with it, not about it. Shyvee Shi
Lenny's Newsletter substack newsletter The benchmark data is what makes it irreplaceable. Retention curves, conversion rates, team ratios — nobody else publishes this. Lenny Rachitsky
Shape Up basecamp.com book Free online. The best alternative to Scrum that nobody talks about enough. More relevant now that AI compresses delivery timelines. Ryan Singer
