"Frankly, what a lot of startups should do is spend the money not on another developer to build more stuff, but on a kick ass product manager to eliminate features (especially the ones that get requested after you launch) and focus the offering."

Has anyone EVER worked with a product manager that eliminated features? I feel like every conversation with every product manager I have has gone like this.

PM: "We want to do A and B by the end of Q2."

Me: "Well they're both 8 week projects so which do you want first?"

PM: "It's not possible to do both?"
