@aunder Any chance you'd go back to @SlackHQ and get them to reverse the last 7 awful changes they've shipped? Asking for an industry....

@umang There were still farmers after the Industrial Revolution. Just fewer, sowing and reaping more :)

[Tom Verrilli @tdrobbo]

TY! There’s a loose mapping - we have a buyer and seller team for example and sub pods (eg 3 PMs who generally work on selling formats and inventory unless priorities dictate otherwise).

So there’s a PM or PMs you can jam with, but there work spans whatever it needs to and as EM you’re making the call on iterations of stuff you own outside that.

In the last year I've probably read 100+ hot takes on how AI changes the role of product - and been invited to almost as many VC dinners to discuss the same.

It feels like all of them miss the crucial point: AI has shifted how the best PMs get leverage from managing, back to actually doing.
