[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:

1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales

Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.

A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:

- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2

Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

If you run a full bottleneck analysis in your life and actually get to the bottom of the thing (no matter how many layers deep) - the last bottleneck/domino will always be an emotion you're resisting. That's it. That's how funny and wonderful the actual human condition is.

We’re a few weeks away from where there will be no designers or engineers, but a third secret thing

[Muhu Njenga @RealMuhu]

Figma became the world's default design tool by making one thing free that every competitor charged for.

That single decision is why 4 out of 5 Figma users aren't designers.

Full story and whether that logic survives the AI era:
