PRODUCT MANAGEMENT IS BROKEN, A CHANGE IS COMING

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The model of product and engineering managers sounds like a promising concept - PMs decide what to make, and EMs decide how to make it - but it doesn’t always work in practice. For one, most people cannot be good PMs of a new product/industry immediately, leading to bad decision-making. Secondly, engineers build things without ever talking to the customers and can’t make important decisions as a result. There are two ways to fix this: get PMs closer to the business domain and have engineers be more involved in the product side.
