Ask HN: Does anyone have their PMs shipping code to customer-facing products?

A product manager at a Series A startup is requesting to ship code to customer-facing applications using AI coding agents, despite lacking an engineering background. The team's engineers are uncertain about the practice and are seeking feedback from other teams on its effectiveness.

| |||||||||||| 2 points by | For context: my team has 3 product engineers and a PM/product lead at an small series A startup. Our PM has recently been asking to start contributing changes/features into our core web customer facing application using coding agents. The PM doesn't have any engineering background but has experience using Claude Code/Codex to develop hobby style apps in his free time for the past year or so. I am curious of what other teams are doing and how its working out? | ||||||||||| |
