I mean, looking at the release notes for things like say the Linux kernel it is clear that the improvements are there at a massive rate of change. But it's small stuff, it's performance improvements, it's quality of life. If you do things right people will think you've done nothing at all. What did you expect? Businesses to come up with whole new business lines, or is it just that backlogs of work is getting burned down that was going to be gotten to eventually? From what I can tell from the PM forums, the next bottleneck is the Product Org coming up with ideas worth implementing as fast as the developers can deliver them.

For a $2tn industry, YES.

Lot of PMs are gonna get replaced with product engineers who aren't going to need to wait.

Which only changes the title and your new bottleneck is product engineers struggling to come up with new product ideas worth doing month over month. While also half of their job is still the engineering side of the problem with less customer centric time.

A lot of product engineers already have that title.

Measurers at risk.
