Too little judgment. - URL: https://www.cesarrg.com/weekly-retro-too-many-layers-too-little-judgment/ - Published: 2026-05-02T10:15:10.000Z - Updated: 2026-05-02T10:16:27.000Z - Author: César Rodríguez - Tags: Weekly Retro, Innovation #279 - May.2026 ***Weekly Retro** **is a short e-mail with a wrap-up of ideas from the week, interesting links I found, and food for thought before you head off for the weekend.* Hi there! 💡 Here's a quick idea for the weekend: More PMs will not fix the **bottleneck**. Many people are concluding that, as engineers can deliver more in parallel, the solution is to add more PMs. This observation makes sense with I'm seeing today: More delivery capacity = more options to choose from = more decisions that a PM needs to take. But I don't think the solution is just increasing the **PM:Engineers ratio**. It goes beyond: rethinking **how PMs make decisions** (high judgement over noise) and how they cut the coordination layers between customer needs and what gets built. Every coordination step that isn't needed adds complexity, slows the team, and loses clarity. This is the one thing PM can develop now: the **taste and AI-steering skil**l to choose over an increasing amount of options, keeping the signal-to-outcome product cycle short. Instead of delegating the hard judgment calls to AI, delegate the coordination overhead. Let’s go build something great! ¡Saludos! Subscribe Email sent! Check your inbox to complete your signup.

The prescription is debatable. Good food for thought. --- ### 📖 Good tips for creative work [Claude for Creative WorkAnthropic is an AI safety and research company that’s working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.![](https://static.ghost.org/v5.0.0/images/link-icon.svg)![](https://www.anthropic.com/api/opengraph-illustration?name=Hand%20ShapeArrow&backgroundColor=cactus)](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-for-creative-work?ref=cesarrg.com) Interesting framing: > “Claude can't replace taste or imagination, but it can open up new ways of working.” 9 new connectors linking Claude to Adobe Creative Cloud, Blender, Ableton, and others.
