i've got some big tasks ahead of me and we have this cute ukrainian PM on our case but it's me and my apprentice and honestly we have like maybe 8 tasks to do in total and we really don't need her

but it is exemplary of the mentality of tech in general... throwing a thousand darts in the general direction of the dartboard is gonna get at least one bulls eye, probably, but that's a hella expensive bullseye

better to just throw one at a time and focus and your dart thrower will be hitting the bulls-eye every other time consistently

Ya, the 'traditional' structure most companies seem to gravitate towards has PMs (product, AND project) in a role they are unsuited for and un-supported by a very needed full-stacker. Usually leads to a mess and disgruntled devs. Better to make tech decisions where PM is only one of the inputs, and other inputs include making good decisions on trajectory of the software itself and other factors.
