Huh, my experience has been generally the opposite - most FS/BE/FE folks want to understand the business, and while a good PM will enhance that, the median PM is actively detrimental.

Frankly if the people you have aren't good enough then you need to get good at training, get better in your hiring (does your hiring process test the skills you want? Without being so long that anyone decent is going to get a better offer before they reach the end of it?), or maybe your company is just not offering enough to attract decent talent. There are plenty of better-than-AI programmers out there, but even in this job market they still have decent options.



The truth is that everyone is correct when going by past experience. With many millions of developers and PMs, all combinations happen.


It's been consistent though. 15+ year career, many companies, multiple industries, multiple countries.
