I am a Sr. Product Manager that considers himself at best a Script Kiddie. If you have a firm grasp on logic and conceptually understand how the modern stack works, you can be a successful Product Manager embedded with an engineering team. That success hinges on the relationships and credibility you build up with the engineering team. It helps if you can remain conversant and can join a conversation about technical / business tradeoffs. Mature teams will abstract away the second order technical complexity when interfacing with the PM and will translate why things are hard, costly, and risky. Obviously there is a whole other skill set that is required for a PM but those skills vary depending on the organization.
