How does AI affect Product Managers?
I come from a background in product. I started my career as a PM, but now serve as a pseudo-product manager at a software company. I am an expert on the customer and the problem and conduct demos during sales call. From here I help build the roadmap based off customers needs.
On the side, I have built multiple web applications with AI and have no coding experience. Are PM going to morph more into junior engineers who build out prototypes? Are PMs going to continue to become bottlenecks?
No. We need you to communicate better with the client and deliver good requirements that don't rock the boat. Same as it ever was.
AI is many miles away.
If anything this is where modern AI shits its pants and is completely unusable.
speaking from actual experience and not the absolute tards that try to astroturf this place with their ignorant disconnected opinions because they haven't written code in over a decade and especially true for web dev
What was the extent of your web apps? Were they just simple todo type apps or were they decently complex? Did you modify the code yourself or was it just copy and paste mainly?
What you described sounds more like a sales manager.
Product manager in my view is a manager of a product, not someone who cobbles up demos for customers (if you need to actively sell custom solutions to customers, I argue you're not a product company).
