Project managers, manage projects. Project are initiates with a limited time horizon. IE. developing an app or going after a short-term profitable initiative.

A product manager is someone that manages a specific product. For instance, you might have a product manager manage a customer facing sales portal. The product manager of the sales portal would ensure that the tool is achieving its pre-determined goals and is constantly looking for opportunities to improve the tool.

This.

Project manager: think group project for a class. "We need to get this shit done on time and make sure everyone knows what to do"

Product manager: manages a product. Think of it like the manager of a grocery store. A grocery store needs to be continuously managed.

Basically


the project manager makes sure individual projects meet their goals

The product manager makes sure the product keeps going, decides how to change it, etc

It can get really specific where a product manager for a big product like Google photos might lead other product managers focusing on individual parts of the product, e.g. there might be a product manager specifically in charge of the search results of Google photos on Android vs someone else in charge of the homepage of Google photos on the web. (I don't know anything about Google photos but this is a possible breakdown from my experience at companies I've worked at)

Depends. I guess ultimately you're right, as I worked mostly in b2b software (Google cloud now) and technically the PMs are not the ones making agreements with customers but 90% of the time my team just does what the PM team tells us and the remaining 10% we do what the UX team tells us

You explain how Uber or Lyft were ever worth $50/share. Tech company valuations have been inflated by low cost of borrowing and quantitative easing.

You're still too stupid to understand what I said about low costs of borrowing or quantitative easing. Both of these are inflating away the buying power of your dollar (this hurts you in case you are too dumb to understand) but they prop up asset valuations for people who own a lot of stock (by and large the upper class in the US). Now even in the middle class your daily living expenses are a higher % of your income meaning you're getting hurt more by inflation than someone who basically has 95% of their income going to investments in financial assets and can comfortably live on a tiny fraction of their income

like others said, a good product manager understands technicals. they are constantly evaluating branching points for the team, making decisions about what the product should be.

I'll agree that architect is a real-ish, respectable field. I recently dated an architect that was a sweetheart

I opted to codefag my way to early retirement (age 29) before splintering off to pursue something more heterosexual. To be specific, I really didn't feel like missing out on the gainz, but I did know I wanted to do a real job eventually.

Age 30 seems like a good time to transition from codefaggotry

Seems comfy. Most jobs look remote, and if I can fuck off a bit that's fine by me. I figure better me than a woman.

I’m actually a product manager for a crypto startup. Besides the CEO and head architect, I know more about the technological abilities and limitations of crypto than any dev working there, often times by far. These guys are great at what they do, and I absolute can not code even 1% as well as them, but I’m just there to have a birds eye view of things to make sure we don’t accidentally have some glaring exploit deep in our protocol, and that we actually build a project people will want to use. The $180k salary is nothing compared to the value I bring to them, and there’s no midwit agile-certified corporate drone that can do it as well as me for less salary.

Project managers however are literally barely a step above a Starbucks manager. They get a list of instructions they don’t understand and a deadline they didn’t choose, and they just lean on their team until they do the work. They can probably be replaced by an AI widget.

They're glorified babysitters. The best teams don't need them at all because they know how to document their work (updating tickets, sprint planning, etc), and they're better off for it. Only shitty teams that don't know how to communicate and don't have actual managers to prioritize/assign the work need PMs.

Product owners aren't the ones cracking the whip though. They're the people who are supposed to know what a product is actually supposed to do, and can tell the team yes this demo you built does what I want it to do or no this this not what I wanted, here's where it's failing. They're either the client or a client stand-in. Scrum master are the people who handle all the team dynamic and scheduling stuff.
