>No offense intended, but most PMs I've met are fucking useless

Beyond basic horse sense, technical credibility, customer outreach, market sense, & roadmap development by nurturing sheafs of competing priorities while constantly mindful of critical constraints...

...A PM has to make their management happy. Who increasingly isn't technical at all.

Show me a 'pointless, clueless, idiotic' user story or epic, & I'll show you the result of PM negotiations with stakeholder(s) who asked (demanded) something far worse.

EVERY non-technical %VP, C%% and VC I've met just Loves to say "it's just software; it can do anything"... & completely miss the bitter irony that statement should embody.
