The project manager keeps asking for an update every 15 minutes.

Not only do I feel this in my soul, I've been working for almost 13 years, and to this day, I'm still not sure what a project manager contributes.

The only thing I can tell is that their job is to be the designated impatient person.

At my job, me and another guy were given stuff to work on. But unknown to product, there's a lot of shared code there.

In my imagination, it should be someone's job to coordinate this. Instead, I finished a chunk of mine, he finished a chunk of his, and then there was confusion. Maybe that's just a technical team lead's job.
