The only new skill I’ve had to learn building an app is marketing
I’ve been using my 4 years of pm experience for everything from product discovery to launch
If I want to build a team, my first hire will probably be a technical product manager
Narrative violation: Product managers are benefiting most in the AI era
There’s been a lot of talk about AI replacing product managers (“who needs ’em!”). But so far, the data is showing the exact opposite.
There are more open PM roles than at any point in nearly four years, up 75% from the March 2023 low, and PM openings have grown faster than any other core product role since the start of 2023.

Maybe it's time to go back my PM job to make some money and fund my own startup ? 🤔
Who needs a PM can plan, build and sell?

PM openings are up 75% since early 2023. AI didn’t kill the role, it raised the bar.
The PRD isn’t the deliverable anymore. A working prototype is.
Nobody argues with something they can click.

Product management has gone through tumultuous times last few years. It’s great to see AI actually bringing value and stability to the discipline.

PM openings are up while AI makes building cheaper.

For anyone paying attention to the SI trends, this shouldn't be surprising. Once skills like SW development and design becomes commoditised via Agents the bottleneck becomes directing the agents, which is the same jobs PMs had, except instead of directing humans it's now directing agents.

My explanation for this is that before, it made no sense to hire a PM unless you had at least 4-5 engineers ready to build with them, now that 1 engineer can deliver enough value directly, the PM layer can add more value independently.
Also when it comes to growth rates, obviously the # of PM roles is much smaller than engineers so you'll see greater growth

PMs are needed in order to bring order to the chaos.
Be it a designer, engineer, generalist - anyone can be a PM.
If you thrive in chaos and have scars to show for it, you'll be a good PM

not surprised at all. as a former software product manager, and general problem solver at heart - what AI has enabled us from a skill and execution pov is unmatched.
can’t code? now u can.
have an idea to connect several data channels together to help determine product-market fit? boom.
cannot put into words how revolutionary this has been at a deep mental level. and i’m loving it.

Slow rebuild during those 4y, but makes sense from my experience. Call it what you want, but having someone owing the product end to end, keeping the team beat towards a goal, eye on the customer needs and shipping value is just core work of any product-led company. Remove this function and either 1. someone else owns it (like a product minded engineer lead, or the CEO in smaller startups), or 2. the company spends money and time doing stuff users don’t care about.

when you can build anything, what you choose to build becomes most important.
thinking like a strategic PM is one the best ways to level up your design career
