More and more end-to-end product, and closer to being a dev

Answering Aíquis Rodrigues Gomes and Arthur Castro: yes… More and more, I’m doing product end to end. Unfortunately, I’m getting closer and closer to being a dev (eating my words, Bruno Falcão and Adrianno Esnarriaga). And less and less interested in PM :/

And Arthur, I agree with you that it’s very hard to be an IC in the product world. Is it really that technical? I became a principal much more because of low-code than because of product knowledge (there were people far more competent than me in product at Pipefy).

Originally written in Portuguese and published on LinkedIn on May 22, 2026. I translated it into English with the help of AI (Claude): it let me bring my LinkedIn posts to people who don’t read Portuguese without rewriting each one from scratch. I reviewed the translation to keep my original meaning and tone.
