Product managers are coding with AI — and it's changing how they work

Product managers used to work with engineers as separate roles. You wrote specs, they wrote code. Now AI agents are blurring that line. You can ask the agent to scaffold a feature, spin up a prototype, even write tests — and suddenly your PM-to-engineer ratio looks different.

The real point isn't that PMs should become engineers. It's that PMs need to understand how agents think so they can design products that work with them, not against them. When the agent starts handling code generation, the PM's job shifts toward architecture thinking, edge cases, and the kind of detail work that still needs human judgment. La migra app is starting to look different for everyone who works with it.

Why this matters for us: As AI agents handle more of the technical work, PMs who understand how these tools think will shape the products we actually use.
