My name is Joe Charat. I’m on the team at Naked Apartments. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on our job post. I see in one of your previous HN comments that you are or were a “product manager at a tech company.” Given that role, I can understand why you might disagree with our organizational structure.
How teams are comprised is certainly an important decision for any company, but there are many ways of going about it. Countess companies have succeeded with product managers leading or working alongside developers, and countless companies have succeeded without product managers. We happen to be in the latter category.

And for what it’s worth, we’re doing quite well.
