PM vibes coding at a big tech firm: 1-2 months of work now done in a week
vista8 · x · 2026-09-23
A product manager still at a big tech company shares his new workflow: many new projects no longer have PRDs, and PMs now vibe-code directly with engineers, committing to the repo 7-8 times a day before aligning on iteration the next morning. Engineers initially reviewed the code themselves but eventually gave up and delegated testing to the model. The result: work that used to take 1-2 months now ships in a week — massive efficiency gains, at the cost of everyone being exhausted.
