Makes sense ...

I’m sure some people enjoy it. I work in corporate strategy but we’re developing some internal software and my boss and I are dual hatted as product managers for it since we conceived it. We have great devs, but I hate it and can’t wait until we can hire an actual product manager to take over so I can get back to strategy and stop working a zillion hours.
