Kent closes Chats with Kent season 7 and explains what changes on this feed: Become a Product Engineer is now its own podcast, with season 7 episodes and upcoming releases on that RSS feed. He previews guests still in the pipeline and introduces Better with Kent, a new solo series on durable skills for software engineers.

Season 7 of Chats with Kent is over. The interview series you have been following as Become a Product Engineer has graduated into its own show. Kent may do another Chats with Kent season later, but for now this episode is the season 7 finale on the Chats with Kent feed.

If you have been subscribed here, you do not need to re-listen to old episodes to catch up. The season 7 conversations are already on the new podcast, and the episodes Kent mentions below are scheduled on that feed going forward.

Still coming on Become a Product Engineer (among others):

• Jack Ryan (Intercom) - user empathy, feedback loops, and what not to build
• Swizec Teller - user outcomes, workflow design, and biotech software
• Grady Booch - software architecture, human judgment, and AI's limits (including Kent's "Last Software Engineer" framing)
• Sean Roberts - the technical person in the room and how product engineering differs from product management
• Ruben Casas - demos, feedback loops, and judgment in the AI product era
• Lucas Varga (FamilySearch) - helping engineers grow into product engineers

Kent is also starting Better with Kent: solo episodes on durable skills - judgment, accountability, empathy, and what stays valuable as AI takes on more implementation - on YouTube and in podcast apps.
