Andrew Ng: AI-native teams use coding agents so engineers take on PM, design, marketing roles
PawelHuryn · x · 2026-09-15
Andrew Ng explains that AI-native software engineering teams operate very differently from traditional ones: coding agents let them build much faster, which triggers broader organizational changes—
- Great engineers now take on broader roles: partly PM, designer, sometimes marketer
- Since building is fast, more time goes to deciding what to build, raising the priority of project management
- Small colocated teams that communicate face-to-face can move incredibly quickly
Quoting this, PawelHuryn urges PMs to learn to build, and shares free resources including a GitHub simulator for PMs and a set of AI shipping prompts and commands.
