Evolution of The Rift
The Rift is my personal blog (for now) - a space to think out loud about tech, product, and the messy business of building things.
I’m Saqib. Product Manager. Writer. Community Builder.
I’ve spent the last decade working with startups and software teams; helping founders go from “I have an idea” to “we shipped and it works”.
Most of that work has been in the messy middle: where discovery, delivery, and growth all blur together.
That experience shaped how I think. And wanted a spot for me to share stuff I find cool, so now we are here.
What you’ll find here:
Raw takes on product, business, and tech. Stuff I’ve actually learned - what worked, what flopped, and what looked good on paper but broke in production.
Sometimes it’s a lesson. Sometimes it’s a rant. Sometimes I’m just thinking through a problem and inviting you along.
Who this is for:
Founders. PMs. Solo builders. Curious generalists. Anyone figuring it out as they go.
If you’re somewhere between spark and scale - trying to build something real without a playbook - you’ll feel at home here.
Why “The Rift”?
Because the best ideas live in the gaps. Between theory and practice. Between inspiration and execution.
Between what you’re told works and what actually does.
Elsewhere:
I run SK NEXUS - a Pakistani tech publication focused on making tech make sense.
I’m building The Wandering Pro - a community for builders who want support, not just advice.
And I consult through Biz of Dev - helping founders ship with clarity.
If something here resonates - or you want to build something together - my inbox is open.
With or without my help – I wish you the best.
