      Say you don’t work in tech without saying you don’t work in tech.

      I’m a dev. Love them or hate them, PMs are vital to success of projects.

        Of the 30-50 PMs I’ve worked with in my career, I’ve had 2 actively contribute to the success of my team’s work. I’ve had a handful scuttle projects because they couldn’t manage the clients, the rest just kind of hung out and collected a massive paycheck.

        The highest performing teams I’ve been on had the lead developer play that role.

        The role is vital, the PM it’s self is not.
