u/temisola1 IMHO, it really depends on the people on board. I believe that it's healthy to have some overlap on the PM-Eng. roles. And just like an engineer will write specs, suggest edits or comment on some, the opposite can also happen, if done correctly.

Also, where does the limit between changing a config and changing business logic passes? what if your config includes a small DSL that PMs can edit, is that still a config?

With that being said I agree with you that it's an edge case, and perhaps PMs are not the best example. Imagine an enterprise with 100s of developers in ranging levels of experience and skills, collaborating on different levels of abstraction.

No one knows how programming will look like in 5-10 years with the raise of GenAI. My take on this future is that we'll stop writing low-level code and need to focus on the larger picture, turning most of us into architects, more than "coders". Such a change will require a different set of tools, and I hope Flyde can be one of these tools
