Vibe Coding Is Not Enough: The Path from PM to Agent Engineer

Everyone can build a beautiful AI-powered frontend today. Tools like Lovable, V0, Gemini AI Studio, and Bolt have made it incredibly easy to turn prompts into working applications. But building a frontend is only the beginning. The real challenge starts when you need to build production-ready systems with databases, APIs, backend services, authentication, workflows, and code that scales. In this video, Mahesh explains why the future belongs to Builder PMs who can bridge the gap between vibe coding and agent engineering. You'll learn the key skills required to move beyond prototypes and start building real AI products using modern agentic development tools like Claude Code and Codex. What You'll Learn -Why vibe coding is an excellent starting point for PMs -The limitations of frontend-only AI applications -The difference between vibe coding and agent engineering -How modern AI agents are changing software development The three foundational concepts every Builder PM must understand: a. Development stacks b. Databases c. Code management - Why understanding software fundamentals matters even in the AI era - How to transition from AI user to AI-powered builder If your goal is to become a Builder PM, ship production-grade AI products, or work effectively with coding agents, this session provides the roadmap to get started.
