VS Code Team Enables PMs To Prototype Features

Pierce Boggan, Product Lead for VS Code and GitHub Copilot at Microsoft, says in a January LinkedIn post and subsequent interview that his team built tooling allowing product managers to define, prototype, and ship user-facing features using AI agents and self-hosted Copilot. The team reports moving from monthly to weekly releases, sustaining 100+ commits daily, using custom agents such as 'demonstrate' and an internal vsc-bench benchmark, and emphasizes making codebases agent-ready to safely scale contributions.
