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?

@HurlyMcDingus Congrats, Andy!

@Suhail The biggest cultural problem holding us back is that society holds the production of criticism at similar importance to that of building. It isn’t. But the critics inherited the airwaves from the builders.

@dougludlow @Austin_Police I’m so sorry for your loss Doug. This is shocking.

@dougludlow If your leadership team doesn’t demo, use and review your own product every day, your customers will never love it, because you don’t love it.

@immunoglobulin Virtual credit card numbers are great for this. But some card providers only support them for online use only. https://t.co/zuJB9IeKxD

@chrismessina My first guess is your mac didn't actually go to sleep. Try this from the command line to confirm:
pmset -g log|grep -e " Sleep " -e " Wake "

EPA released ratings for the @Tesla Model 3 AWD & Perf today. Interesting, while the MPGe is different vs RWD, they list the same range. Also, Performance has summer, sport, tires that scrub off energy. IMHO - One of these variables must be padded. https://t.co/xOcDgrewHo

@heyjoshua I hope engine mechanics test their own stuff better than devs.
