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
