Ramblings of B × C is Bosun and Chinedu trying to make sense of the ideas, experiences and opinions that keep us talking — technology, business, careers, building things, money, culture, and whatever else gets us going. One idea. Two perspectives. 30 minutes. No manufactured debates, no pretending to have all the answers. Just two friends, something worth talking about, and 30 minutes to see where the conversation goes. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't, and sometimes we change our minds. New episodes and clips regularly.

    EP. 02 – Should Engineers Talk Directly to Customers?

    Should engineers talk directly to customers — or should the product team act as the bridge between customers and engineering? Bosun and Chinedu both begin this episode saying engineers should have direct customer exposure, but quickly discover they mean very different things by it. They explore what gets lost when customer problems are translated through product teams, why customer context can improve engineering judgement, the danger of treating customer requests as specifications, and the cost of pulling engineers out of focus time for more meetings. The conversation eventually reaches a practical middle ground: engineers should sometimes hear directly from customers and ask questions through an engineering lens — but the goal is to understand the problem, not to design the solution live on the call. One idea. Two perspectives. 30 minutes. --- Music licensed through Soundstripe. Code: UXJOJSL7LZOZPXMQ

    EP. 01 – Do Startups Actually Need Product Managers?

    Most startups don't need a Product Manager the way the industry usually defines one. So what do they actually need? In our first episode, Bosun and Chinedu unpack one of the most misunderstood roles in tech — and what product management is really supposed to do. We talk about: Why very early-stage startups may not need a dedicated PMWhy founders are often the first product managersThe difference between owning product decisions and managing product operationsWhen a startup actually needs someone focused full-time on productWhether AI changes the role of the Product ManagerWhy product management is ultimately about maximising value for the customer and the business Bosun brings firsthand experience from building products at an early-stage startup, while Chinedu pushes the conversation toward a broader question: if product management isn't about Jira tickets and sprint ceremonies, then what is it actually for?No manufactured debate. Just one idea, two perspectives, and 30 minutes to see where it goes.
