Anthropic's Head of Product says the 'alignment' half of the PM job no longer exists

Anthropic Head of Product Angela Jiang told her own team that the coordination half of the PM role is gone — alignment now happens inside one conversation with the model, faster than a meeting could be scheduled. Head of Engineering Katelyn Lesse echoed from the execution side: weeks-long coordination projects now ship in two days. The roster didn't shrink; the job's content did. What remains — judgment about what's worth solving — is the part most coordination-heavy roles never developed.
