Anthropic's Krieger said Claude replaced a PM — the PM proved him 100% wrong
victor_explore · x · 2026-09-30
Quoting an anecdote: Mike Krieger told a colleague his Anthropic project didn't need a product manager — "Claude's got it." She insisted, and the PM covered what nobody else had: could support explain the changes, had anyone checked safeguards? Krieger's verdict: "You were 100% right." victorexplore adds that agents write code fine but never ask whether support can explain a change on launch day — the question that now makes up most PM work, and the part solo builders skip first.
