What it is — An interview with Stripe's Kevin Yien on how product management changes once a team can fire off dozens of agents at once — the job moves from building prototypes to setting direction.
Key points
- Building is table stakes now that agents handle the coding; the PM's edge moves to strategic direction-setting and longer-term business trajectory calls.
- Success needs two distinct kinds of writing: persuading stakeholders of a point of view, and writing precise enough for agents to execute against.
- The advantage goes to generalists with real domain expertise (sales, engineering, design, support) that agents can't replicate, paired with a willingness to work outside a narrow job spec.
