Where product is really heading: loops, vibe coding and outcome-first work # 18
This week’s issue explores the rise of vibe coding in major tech, why UX still struggles to influence business, how PM and project roles keep getting mixed and why teams deliver only 3% of their plans.
This week’s issue is full of signals pointing in the same direction: product is shifting fast. From Microsoft asking for vibe coding skills in senior design roles, to Melissa Perri calling out why PMs are mis-hired, the message is clear.
Teams that cling to old ways of working are slowing down. Teams that learn faster are pulling ahead. And as AI rewrites how we prototype, collaborate and measure impact, the gap is only widening.
Below are the pieces that stood out most to me this week. From solution bias, to why teams ship only 3% of their roadmap, to a reminder that breakthroughs rarely come from boardrooms (as if you needed reminding!).
Thanks,
Ross
