My guest on this episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast is Raveesh Bhalla, the Product Lead for Homepage Recommendations at Netflix. Our topic of conversation is product personalization and, specifically, how scaled consumer products curate experiences for individual users and for what purpose. Among other things, we discuss:

How large technology companies implement product personalization;
The promise of LLMs and other AI tools for product personalization;
What the objective or goal function is of product personalization, and how it varies across different features within the same product;
The kinds of domain expertise needed to implement product personalization at scale and how that differs from "traditional" product management;
How these kinds of initiatives integrate within a broader product organization;
How the practice and implementation of product personalization might evolve over the medium term.
