- AustinDev 3y agoYou're more wrong than almost any poster I've ever seen on Hacker News. At least you got a throw away before you posted this ignorant comment.
- explorer83 3y agoSource: I said so.
- _Microft 3y agoGP wrote in a different comment that they worked with DARPA in the past, so I would assume that they know more about the processes than other people. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36637805 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36637805

- zzz95 3y agoMaybe. Even when a PM is very technical in their field, they are not expected to know the nitty gritty of the broad area they tackle in a program. To come up with realistic programs and execute them successfully, a PM needs to know where are the boundaries of current knowledge, how much $$ is required to push research to transition to real tech... and sniff out bullshit being sold by research labs. Bullshitters or not, they need to be really good at sniffing bullshit!

- scrps 3y agoI think you are thinking more of defense contracting than darpa. Also, darpa has real use-cases and those use-cases tend to be hard to solve ones, they aren't VCs looking for the next trend to vampire like a national security version of the TV show shark tank. Granted, it is 2023, it is the govt, and it is tech/eng/sci holy trinity of profit so I wouldn't be shocked if I am off the mark with my assessment. Edit: typo
