Today I received an email regarding a new and possibly explosive program at work. I won’t say which company this is, but you’ve been their website. Here’s the money quote:
Most of the product managers have CS degrees, and our engineers have strong opinions on the future directions of our products.
Can you guess where this is going? That’s right – the head of Product Management and the head of Engineering are starting a rotation program among developers and product managers. Genius? Insanity? I’ll check in twelve months from now and tell you how it turns out.
