Hi everyone, I've lately started to use Replit and Claude Code for building clickable prototypes. I think it would be a lot of fun to get better at actually producing my own software. Is anyone else going down this route?

If you haven't yet, read Matt Shumer's viral post Something Big Is Happening. In it he describes how knowledge work can now mostly be done by AI with less and less human intervention. That pace of change is faster and more significant than ever. A year ago, a task that took a human ten minutes could be completed by AI without human help. 🤯 As of November 2025 based on Claude Opus 4.5; five hours. Five hours of human expert level work completed by AI without human help. Most if not all of OpenAI's GPT-Codex-5.3 was written by itself. Read that again; OpenAI's system improved itself the way a human dev team would. And it did it without human help until it was satisfied based on its own standards. Self-administered, recursive improvements. This is "big" as Matt states. No hyperbole. What does this mean for all knowledge work, not just product management? To me it means start documenting every aspect of your work flows, build an AI agentic system that can perform your tasks for you, and conduct and orchestrate like Leopold Stokowski. His taste, discernment and judgement made him stand out in the music community and he is now a historical figure (not just for Disney's Fantasia).

👋 Hi folks - this post is mainly for PM candidates who may be asked to vibe code as a part of their interview loops. The article is specifically focused on how to train for this new interview requirement. 🏃‍♂️Not all companies are interviewing this way. Some may never adopt this approach. But better to be prepared than not, right? 🤔 If you are not interviewing there may be some value built in for you as well. Hope you find this helpful! TL;DR 1. Vibe‑coding = live AI‑powered prototyping during an interview. You’re judged on how well you think and build under a ticking clock. 2. Three formats dominate today—Sprint, Design + Proto, Take‑home—each with a different skill weighting. 3. Hiring managers swapped slide decks for clickable demos because it surfaces product chops, scope discipline, and AI fluency in one shot. 4. Starter tool kit: Figma AI/Framer, V0.dev / Locofy, Retool / Glide, Replit Ghostwriter or Cursor. Master at least one in every category. 5. Weighted rubric (40 pts) + prompt bank + 5‑step training plan included below. https://joshatlas.substack.com/p/vibecoding-what-product-managers

🧠 There is a gulf between using AI and getting value from AI. 👩‍✈️ Only about a third are scaling beyond pilot, the rest are just experimenting, and only a few more are reporting a direct impact on their bottom line. ⤴️ If you are using AI in your PM work, you are ahead of the curve. 🏃‍♀️The high performers are redesigning workflows around AI and AI agents. 🔌 This is where the opportunity lies: PMs are moving from task executors to conductors.

🤾‍♂️ Been playing around with Claude Code and it's been super helpful. 🏃It runs on your local machine and can--if you give it permission--will read/write to your files. 📣 I want you guys to have helpful, actionable content when we work together, and am always looking for ways to adapt to your needs. 📚 On my laptop I have a ton of great content and was looking for insights, gaps and ways to improve the PMC offer. 🚚 Claude delivered. It found themes I never thought of, missing pieces to tie the themes together, and came up with a plan to execute. ❓Want to learn more? DM me and we can set up a time to chat.
