There’s an old saying in the software industry. When you’re a product manager or business analyst, the hard part is building the application. When you’re a developer, the hard part is knowing the customer’s needs.

I think what we’re seeing quite a bit lately is developers are stepping back a bit from the development themselves because the AI does much of that part. So they’re managing the products for themselves, even when they are the only customer. The best people at doing this are going to be people who really understand what needs to be done, because that’s what the product manager/product owner/business analyst/customer liaison type of role has always been.
