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?

@zachlanebryan Great show, Zach! Thanks for kicking ass for my son’s first live concert.

@homermt I'm willing to bet that they (ppl around you) don't just simply believe what they are told by the official narrative anymore.

Media, elite, politicians, etc. They are all liars.

[Chris Hatton @crhatton]

This is heart-breaking. We need to do more than ask just the politically acceptable questions. We could have lessened the disaster. We failed.

@realDailyWire @JoyAnnReid @benshapiro The beard is a good look on you @benshapiro

[Chris Hatton @crhatton]

@homermt Definitely not. He probably doesn’t even know hurricane Ian deserves attention from the federal government right now.

[Chris Hatton @crhatton]

@Anasaurus_H Why? Because politicians are not incentivized to solve it. It’s more valuable (to them) as a wedge to drive votes right or left.

@peterpascale Yikes! 2 wrongs don't make a right.

@peterpascale Curious, and my googling did not respond as expected. Rather it suggested that Duluth is experiencing a staff shortage problem. Looking for the vaxxd/unvaxxd connection, but I wasn't able to find it. https://t.co/wDNr4ChKno

@tomselliott Everything is fine.

@DrewHolden360 @ryansaavedra @Forbes Forget the politics ... how do clubs like this even exist in 2021?

[Ron Paul @RonPaul]

How can a government, that's $28 trillion in debt, spend trillions of dollars that it does not have? Well, one major way is the Federal Reserve creates money-out-of-thin-air and then 'loans' it to the government by buying the government's bonds.

[Chris Hatton @crhatton]

@mbrevoort More importantly, sad to see that it breaks down across political affiliation. Why has a virus/pandemic (something that affects us all as humans) become so polarized?

Remember the low-flying aircraft alert we sent our recently for the @COParksWildlife Southeast Region? Here's some video from Jamin Grigg, CPW biologist based in Salida. We conduct flights each year to assess the health of big game herds. This is an elk herd. #conservation (1/5)
