lol product managers are such a bane for tech companies. they have to keep shipping features which no ones wants but they have to show they came up with and are shipping something. i think tech companies should try and avoid product managers and designers for as long as possible.



This sounds like you've never had a good one.

A good product manager can make a world of difference.


The only times I’ve had semi-decent product managers was when I was consulting, and they were paying our company for every hour worked.


perhaps but its so easy for product managers to not get to the heart of what hackers do


One of the reasons I got into DevOps was because I got tired of dealing with shitty product managers. I've experienced maybe 2 good ones, ever.


Users are to blame. There always has to be something new, even if its no better or even worse. It just has to change regularly or people think its stale and move on. We see this loads in phones where totally useless features like samsungs curved edge or foldable phones and the removal of loads of useful features.
