"Zevi Arnovitz said in an episode of "Lenny's Podcast" released Sunday that discovering AI coding tools in mid-2024 marked a turning point in his career. It felt like he was handed "superpowers," Arnovitz said. Understanding how to use AI intentionally is "one of the biggest game changers that will make you much better as a PM," he said, referring to product management."
"Arnovitz said he has rebuilt his workflow around AI. He uses vibe coding tools like Cursor alongside models from Anthropic and Google to explore product ideas, generate build plans, execute code, review it, and update documentation. The shift reshaped his role as a product manager. Instead of merely acting as a coordinator between engineering and design, Arnovitz operates more like a product owner with the capability to execute."
""Everyone's going to become a builder," he said. "We're going to see that a lot in the next coming years." Still, Arnovitz said there are limits to what non-technical product managers should take on. He said he doesn't think product managers should be shipping complex infrastructure changes or big projects. AI has enabled product managers to take on smaller UI projects by building the feature and then handing the code to a developer for final review and completion, he added."
A Meta product manager discovered AI coding tools in mid-2024 and rebuilt his workflow around them, describing the experience as feeling like "superpowers." He uses vibe coding tools such as Cursor plus models from Anthropic and Google to explore ideas, generate build plans, write and review code, and update documentation. The practical ability to execute code shifted his role from coordinator to product owner capable of building features. He warns against non-technical PMs taking on complex infrastructure projects but notes smaller UI work can be built and handed to developers for final review.
