Would you like to add anything else here?
PM as seen by Engineers:
They are lazy, want WFH to laze around. Will ask 3 weeks for a 3 day project and nobody can question them.
In those 3 weeks of “Work from home” they will mostly chill, deliver a shabby project in 3 last days. And then crib about work-life balance.
Selfish max without any company or team loyalty
If you offer shit pay, you get shit talent.
What, did you expect a fully functional, resilient, reliable product from the 3 freshers you hired for 10 LPA each? Rather than the one senior at 65?
Sounds like a management problem to me.
Project quality is a different issue.
Expensive or inexpensive engineers still feel WFH is a birth right and asking for accountability is a management torture
Product Manager as seen by Software engineer:
Many more but can't waste more time on product managers..
Exception are those who have transitioned from Software engineer to Project/Product manager after working extensively as software engineer. They understand what software engineer does.
Product Managers will be the first to be made redundant by AI.
@MythicalStranger Most likely it will be a PM who will use AI to MVP+validate his idea/thesis making tons of Junior SDEs redundant lmao.
If PM's were that good then they wouldn't be such a pain in a** for software engineers.
Using AI to create a working MVP would still need (at minimum) :
Unless you think static screen's as MVP.
Most are not team players and only care about themselves.
Most can never be creative problem solvers and rely too heavily on algorithms instead of thinking outside the box.
Years of StackOverflow+LC has rotten their brain to rote-memorize algorithms for interviews. No innovation in any algorithm by any Indian dev I have met.
They are not good communicators and often come across as arrogant or condescending.
Can't wait for AI to automate some of these jobs.
Question to all the software engineers.
What are some traits of the best PMs you have worked with - could be a behavioural aspect / work ethic / knowledge of the domain etc.
In the early days of my career, I had the privilege to work with an amazing PM. He had a Bachelor of Science in Astro...
If absolutely all software engineers obsess over business metrics rather than technology it would be net-net great outcome for the ecosystem as well for the individual economically, socially.
I find it childish when a CTO/Architect/Prin...
Let's face it. Indian tech ecosystem is living in a bubble. A big overinflated bubble of ridiculous salaries and perks. And it's about time someone popped it.
Here's the cold, hard truth: the vast majority of you are not nearly as val...
Lol, what a inexperienced take. When you handle Millions of data transactions on daily basis, and a single code ...
