People shit on PMs, but it’s genuinely useful to have someone coordinate breaking down a huge project into manageable chunks and keep on people to make sure they get their chunks done.
I guess a lot of shit on PMs happens because not every PM is actually doing their job. Asking ‘what’s the status’ every morning is surprisingly not enough
Same. I’d be working dead end jobs if I didn’t get lucky and land a job at the Genius Bar at Apple which then let me up skill as a programmer. Don’t work for Apple now but they saved my life man.
If not for programming, I would have ended up a hobo without real qualifications but well versed in science fiction.
What type of programing are you able to do consistently?
(Not OP) Dabble in everything and create dozens of unfinished projects, which fits well into most corporate software strategies.

This. My best achievement were done when there was another person able to articulate goals and constraints in a way I could internalize.

This last part sent me. That’s so true it hurts.
Hell I have hundreds of unfinished projects. I’m a pro at it
Only hundreds?
Computer, mostly.
