> Actual effective managers do much more

And how many managers are effective vs. only information funnels?

4 comments

Even “only” information funnels have value if they seek out valuable info, filter, curate. In reality some funnels in this context mutate the message they’re supposed to pass on :-)
LLMs do all that pretty well :-)
Firing a bunch of ineffective managers because they can easily be replaced by AI seems like a net improvement to me.
Where are the failed programmers supposed to go then?
Product Management.
the key for managers is like business owners

1) understand what success means for their area 2) assemble a team and remove roadblocks for them to achieve 1.

The bad ones tend not to be information funnels.
