> 1 product manager to 0.5 engineers
I would love to have access to whatever this guy is smoking, cause that is some grade-A mind rotted insanity right there. I can count on half of 1 hand the number of good PMs I've had trough my career who weren't a net negative on the projects/companies, and even they most definitely cannot build jackshit by throwing a bunch of LLM-hallucinated crap at the wall and seeing what sticks.
But sure, the devs are the ones that are going to be replaced by the clueless middle managers who only exist to waste everyone's time.
Or is it the other way around? Project managers who can't actually competently execute won't be able to hang?
In the end, what if technically sharp designers and well rounded developers actually end up pushing out incompetent managers?
Could be wishful thinking but you never know.

That is completely bizarre. I’ve been wondering what’s happening to programmer interviews now that AI makes all the standard formats pointless. I never imagined that they would ADD coding to the process for other roles. Having PMs vibe coding in an interview? That’s idiotic.

Awesome! Im a PM now!
he’s saying that the productivity of devs is increasing so much, especially during the prototyping phase, that gathering feedback is becoming the bottleneck, hence there is more PM labor needed. he didn’t say anything about reducing the quantity of dev labor needed.
