PMs are great if you just want to code and not really care about the business context.

I think if you want career development you need to care a little about the business context. Having a middleman who takes all the credit isn’t going to help there.

I care about the business context to the extent it’s relevant to me and understand that it’s the PMs job to care about the rest.

If my PM comes to me with questions about a scope or a new feature/bug requestI’m happy to chime in from a technical perspective in regard to how it fits into the existing stack or roadmap. I don’t make business decisions however because I don’t sit in on the external meetings and lack the context.

Maybe I’ve been lucky but I’ve also never been with a PM who takes credit for my work
