In today's fast-moving digital world, a big question is on everyone's mind: How will AI change our jobs, especially in the software industry? I've been looking into how AI coding affects product development, using Google's Gemini CLI as a test case to find some real-world answers.
This isn't just about new technology. It's about how our software teams will be built from now on. In this article, I'll share what I've learned, discussing whether AI coding helps us build products faster, better, or in new ways. I'll also share over 10 real situations with AI coding.
After my tests, my first conclusion is that AI coding's main value is giving us a more efficient way to generate code. It can quickly and automatically handle repetitive and time-consuming coding tasks, which lets us focus on bigger goals for the product.
However, while AI is great at generating code, it has clear limits when it comes to understanding human meaning, logic, and making key decisions. This means the role of a human engineer is changing from a simple "programmer" to an "AI conductor." We still need a human-in-the-loop.
For product managers, AI is a great opportunity. It can automate some tasks and help them build tools for efficiency, like drafting initial technical documents or creating team management tools. All of this gives product managers more time for market research, user interviews, and planning strategy—all of which lead to more valuable products.
However, using code generated by a product manager with AI for actual production to go alive is still a long way off. It requires a lot of help from engineering knowledge to make sure it's efficient and on the right way.
The arrival of AI coding points to a future where our roles will be upgraded. Product teams will need more people who are a mix of technical and creative talent, people who can use AI tools effectively. AI coding is just one part of this change. A product manager's job has many other areas that can be improved with AI tools. We're heading toward a clear future of more efficient and creative work.
