    Project managers that behave this way is what's wrong with people.

    Somehow, I knew I'd run into an Office Space reference in this thread. (Context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNuu9CpdjIo&t=56s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNuu9CpdjIo&t=56s)

  Great, so, what are you going to build? Whatever the engineers want to play with?

    No. The engineers can talk to the customers and figure out what they want. Cut out the redundant middleman.

      Which engineer talks to the customer? That person shall henceforth be called the Product Manager.

    If you market is engineers that’s not such a bad idea.
    • saulpw 2y ago
      Engineers notoriously don't buy things (at least not when they're acting as engineers).

        Because they are never given budget to do so :D
