I’ve been meditating on this for the last few months and I’s still not sure how I feel about this change. On one hand, my nearly 30 years of experience in design and development is serving me well, in that I am capable of making sound decisions about virtually any aspect of significant and complex digital products. Which means my day-to-day is no longer spent banging out code, building wireframes, or fiddling with Photoshop. It’s literally reading and writing specs all day about which feature to add, how it should function, etc. So, that feels …smarter, somehow. But, on the other hand my identity, and consequently where I had previously found joy, is somehow still tied to what in my head I had always thought of as the “craft” of execution. I wonder how people who were in “Product Manager” roles are adapting to this change? Are they also moving up the thought-ladder into a different role? Or are we, as an army of displaced designers and developers, suddenly encroaching on an immovable barrier between product design and where the money starts? submitted by /u/dennisplucinik
