Your best developer just spent 90 minutes in a sprint planning meeting arguing about whether a 5-point story should be an 8. While she was debating Fibonacci sequences, three critical bugs festered in production.

This is the PM Tax - the hidden cost that traditional project management extracts from every software team. Not just the obvious ceremony hours, but the deeper toll: context switching, cognitive overhead, and the slow strangulation of momentum.

The math is brutal. An 8-person engineering team spends $540,800 per year on ceremony overhead alone. Senior developers cite too many meetings as their #1 reason for leaving. Teams lose 25-40% of their capacity to planning, status updates, estimation sessions, and reporting - time their competitors spend shipping.

This book shows you exactly how to get that time back.

Killing the PM Tax is the definitive guide to AI-native development - a complete system for replacing process overhead with project intelligence. Written by William Cyf3r Jobes, a technology leader with 40+ years of experience building and leading engineering teams, this book takes you from diagnosis to implementation in five parts:
