I hate to admit that that’s who I am. I made a pretty OK career as Product Manager / Head of Product.
And I can tell that beeing nice is super important here as I deal daily with anything from customer, CEO, difficult stakeholders, sales and co.
So no I don’t think beeing incompetent but I had not the patience and grit for software development although I loved it.
Edit: Typo
- Pxtl 4y agoNothing to "hate to admit" there. A good product manager is worth their weight in gold, especially one with enough knowledge of what's going on under the hood to understand the technical tradeoffs the developers are making in order to meet requirements.
- dgb23 4y agoPatience/grit in a very specific way. I don’t know who I’m quoting. But being able to stare at a screen for hours is the key. Relentlessly technical? Stubborn hacker? It’s definitely not an intelligence thing. Being smart helps, but the amount of time you can passionately power through figuring out technical minutiae is often the limiting factor.
