Product Managers, Stop Pissing Off The Engineers

I have been a PM for most of my career. Lose engineering and you have no ongoing product, sales and you can not sell it, support and you can not service it. You get the picture. PM is not required for the basic operations of the business. Great PM is fundamental to success, but not to the day-to-day management of the business.

There are such things as "one developer shops".

There are no "one PM shops".

Case closed.

As an engineer I really appreciate the work of good PMs.
