AI PM roadmap rebuilt as a subway map: engineers and consultants need different paths
aakashgupta · x · 2026-10-07
The author argues engineers and consultants shouldn't follow the same AI PM roadmap—one knows the models, the other knows the customer. He rebuilds it as six stations across three lines: career changers ride all stops (ship something real and attach a dollar figure), while PMs skip discovery and focus on evals—owning thresholds and doing error-cost math. Your starting point decides which stops you skip.
