Boris Cherny以Anthropic的Claude Code团队为例，归纳出五种未来产品角色：1）Prototyper（快速产出新想法）；2）Builder（将原型转化为生产级产品）；3）Sweeper（清理UI、简化代码、优化性能）；4）Grower（迭代提升产品市场契合度）；5）Maintainer（维护成熟系统的安全可靠与高效）。多数人覆盖2-3个角色，且角色不绑定岗位功能。健康团队需根据产品阶段混合配置：新产品/预PMF侧重1+2+3；增长期/已找到PMF侧重2+3+4+少量5；成熟期/强PMF侧重3+4+5+少量2。
Boris Cherny 从 Claude Code 团队提炼出的五种原型，可能是 AI 时代产品团队结构演化的一个风向标，产品人看到会忍不住对号入座。
As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:
- Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
- Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
- Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
- Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
- Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales
Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.
A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:
- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2
Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?
