Build AI products that matter.

I'm Mike Stop Continues, post-exit founder, staff engineer at Meta, and former GenAI/DevX lead at MongoDB. I've spent the few years watching brilliant technology fail to become products people love.

This newsletter is about changing that.

What you'll get

• Weekly deep-dives on AI product engineering

• Real patterns from building at Meta scale and MongoDB's AI platform

• Why most AI products fail and how to build ones that don't

• The intersection of great engineering and great user experience

Who this is for

• Engineers who want to build products that kick ass

• Technical founders figuring out their AI strategy

• Product leaders who need to understand AI deeply

• Anyone tired of ChatGPT wrappers and "AI-powered" buzzwords

My background

• Staff Product Engineer, Meta

• Senior Staff Engineer, GenAI & DevX, MongoDB

• Previously founded and exited BrowserCat

• Published novelist (yes, this helps with product thinking)

• 20 years of shipping products people actually use

I believe the next wave of great products will be built by engineers who understand both the magic and limits of AI. Not everything needs AI, but the things that do, need it done right.

Just keep building,
Mike Stop Continues
