Claude Code turned every engineer into three. Now companies need more product thinkers
Anthropic recently told its growth team to hire more product managers, not fewer.
AI Summary
The shift in the software industry's bottleneck from typing to decision-making has significant implications for companies. This change is attributed to the impact of Claude Code, which has enabled engineering teams to produce at a rate equivalent to three times their actual headcount. As a result, the bottleneck has moved from the development environment to the people responsible for deciding what to build. Companies are now recognizing the need for more product thinkers to address this new bottleneck, as seen in Anthropic's decision to hire more product managers.
