Historically, as a PM, you couldn't do anything without an engineering counterpart.
Now, with GenAI tools, new PMs can easily create and deploy their own apps. In doing so, you'll learn the core PM job skills (for example, thinking about user value, defining requirements, creating designs) and get introduced to the core technical work (for example, writing and testing code, deployment).
The latter is very important for PMs to understand and it's now much more accessible than in the past. You can use Cursor and various Figma to Code platforms for code, and ChatGPT and Claude to help with deployment.
When I'm looking to hire PMs, those who have actually built stuff have a leg up over other candidates.
Hope this helps!
