Some people would like you to believe PM is dead, and that API products don’t matter.
My take: it’s more relevant than ever.
Check out this posting from Anthropic: https://lnkd.in/g3RSjGD2 ⚡️ Team Lead of 3-4 PMs ⚡️ Owns APIs, MCP, SDK, DX ⚡️ Defines metrics & success criteria ⚡️ Technical background and API design are mentioned specifically ⚡️ PLG is mentioned explicitly: “from first API call to production deployment”
If you’ve been following me, you know that’s exactly what I teach in my courses and lessons - because I believe it’s very relevant and impactful.
Yes, it’s a popular role at a popular company, and it’s going to be tough even getting an interview.
