I literally had a dev manager say it to my face! "I guess you were a mediocre programmer or you wouldn't have become a PM"!

No, you aren't doing that kind of high-level design. For example, I was the PM for the "connect to Wi-Fi via a QR code" feature in Windows (you're welcome!). As PM, my job was to :

- demonstrate that this was "thing" people would want to do - demonstrate that it slotted into the existing feature set (the existing Windows camera already reads QR codes, so we just had to use their existing hoooks) - do a quick evaluation of the WIFI: protocol (which, BTW, sucks; it's one of the worst standards I've ever seen) - do an evaluation of the overall market (like, what do other operating systems do)

There was also some discussions with the Windows Wi-Fi team for how to store the connection data since it wasn't a perfect fit for the our existing connection store, plus a security evaluation. You won't do anything about caches or streaming except that they will naturally fall out of your spec.

You'll learn a ton about writing convincing documents, how to find users and partners, tracking schedules, and stuff

Haha that’s a crazy thing to say to someone.

And thank you so much for all the info. Very cool you were PM for the WiFi QR Code that people use every day.

I appreciate all the info! That gave me a pretty good idea of what to expect
