Most job descriptions ask for a PM or an engineer. I've never been able to split the two apart, and after ten years of trying, I've stopped pretending I should. The PM half decides what's worth building and why. The engineer half builds it well enough to actually learn something. Neither one works without the other — a roadmap I can't prototype is a guess, and code without a reason to exist is a hobby.
The pattern underneath all of it is: build the smallest real thing first, then argue from evidence instead of opinion. I've run that same loop at three separate jobs across eleven years, and I ran it again building this site's flagship project. It's not a philosophy I adopted for interviews — it's just how the work gets done.
A team that hires on the work itself — portfolios and pull requests over take-home puzzles and whiteboard trivia. Ideally somewhere a technical PM is expected to open a PR, not just file a ticket for one.
You've got neighbors. You should meet ours.
The 2000s cartoon style isn't accidentally kid-coded — it's nostalgia-coded, for people who were kids when Kim Possible/Danny Phantom/Ben 10 aired. Those people are 28-35 now. That's not a mismatch with your concept, that's a second, completely real audience: adults who grew up on that visual language and will feel an immediate, specific pull toward it — the same instinct driving the huge adult market for "kidcore" aesthetics, nostalgic merch, adult coloring books, Stranger Things-era 80s/90s throwback demand. These are people with disposable income who buy things for themselves, not just for kids.
