The article literally says Snap dropped 20 product managers...

  I was always under the impression the significant majority of PMs of companies like that were either also software engineers themselves or at least knew enough about it to capably pretend to be one on a good day. Is that not the case?

    With luck they were devs before but it's all but a given.

    People who can’t code don’t get promoted to PMs or any sort of engineering manager because it’s too easy to lie Eventually they all forget how to to (I did too) so that’s why it’s important to stay hands-on

    Not necessarily. A PM should understand the sorts of things that SEs could do, but there are several PMs who can't code themselves, but could say what are important features that the product should have.
