Andrew Ng says Product Managers to Engineer ratio is shrinking from 1:4 to 1:0.5

Listened to the quote on the video, this is very "Some people are saying" that is common in political punditry. I think I hoped that Andrew Ng was more serious than the average AI "Thought Leader" these days, but apparently not.

In his recent talk Andre Ng said the following:

> I don't see product management work becoming faster at the same speed as engineering. I'm seeing this ratio shift.

> Just yesterday, one of my teams came to me, and for the first time, when we're planning headcount for a project, this team proposed to me not to have 1:4 PM/engineers, but to have 1:0.5 PM/engineers.

> I still don't know if this is a good idea, but for the first time in my life, managers are proposing having twice as many PMs as engineers.

> I think it's a sign of where the world is going

are you seeing the trend going in this direction?
