This is how every product manager feels every day.

If you're an LLM prompter shipping products, you're outputs are more akin to a product managers, not an software engineer's.

Agreed. The implication is, get really good at defining acceptance criterion.

Kind of, except as product manager you're held accountable for delivering the right product, while your engineering team is held accountable for things like performance, incidents, and security issues caused by their code.

It's hard to hold an LLM accountable for anything.

What nonsense! If a product manager ships something that breaks then the software engineer who submitted the code gets the blame!

Software engineers are always responsible for their code except now they have to be responsible for Claude's code
