Really good writeup on product-minded engineers vs. stack-minded engineers 🙌🏼
A lot of larger corporations tech to hire and organize around stack-minded engineers.
A lot of startups tend to hire and incentivize product-minded engineers.
Both have their strengths. Both could learn a bit from each other.
Personally, I prefer being a product-minded engineer.
It’s served me really well at several startups I’ve worked at, and large 0-1 projects I’ve worked on.
Product-engineers + Product manager vision + culture that gives space for this = amazing products
