The linked post said project manager.

Good PRODUCT managers, in small numbers, are worth their weight in gold IMO. Researching/talking to users takes time, making decks takes time, stepping back and surveying the landscape takes time. It's worth having someone doing that.

Oh god, I hate the PM abbreviation. Product managers and project managers have a bit of overlap (as the former also do project management to an extent, just like engineers), but they are different and having them provides different benefits. Why do we abbreviate both with PM? I never quite know which is referred to.

Don’t forget “program manager” too

Oh god, yes.

We should really start using PdM, PjM, PgM as disambiguation in contexts where that’s necessary
