Why this exists

Product engineering is becoming a more visible way to work, but the advice is scattered across job titles and disciplines. This site is meant to make the landscape easier to navigate—without pretending there is one career path for everyone.

This is a place for practical thinking about the work behind the title: talking to users, choosing problems, shipping software and owning what happens next.
