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。

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？
