A PM on the VS Code team shares how AI has transformed the product management role. The traditional document-driven PM-to-engineering handoff has been replaced by rapid prototyping directly in the codebase, with PMs now submitting PRs and working prototypes within a single day. Key changes include using AI agents to synthesize user feedback from Reddit, X, and GitHub issues, iterating on UI prototypes before bringing them to engineering, and using Copilot for code review. The conversation also touches on the new bottleneck: PR review volume rather than code generation, and how PMs must be selective about what they escalate to engineering teams.
