Anish Acharya says there's an "unbundling" of product management happening: “There was a part of product management that was very technical—that was sort of pointing people in the direction of a market need.” “If you look at the big labs, you’ll see the product managers there are very close to research. They’re more technical than PMs have been in a long time, maybe in a generation since the @bhorowitz era.” “If you look at the other side, you see PMs working with multi-agent systems and 10 instances of Claude, Code, or Codex.” “I think the unbundling in specialization is going to be how it shows up, rather than being a zero-sum Mexican standoff.” “I put a meme up about this. If you’re an engineer reviewing your 57th PR from product management, it’s driving you a little crazy.” “That’s just the moment of transition, as we go from the old definition of our professions to the new ones.” @illscience on @ALEngineered(a16z)
