What we’re about
ProductTank provides an opportunity for Product Managers in Hong Kong to exchange ideas and experiences about Product Design, Development and Management, Business Modelling, Metrics, User Experience and all the other things that get us excited.
Events include talks from guest speakers on topics around product management, networking opportunities, and a good old-fashioned chin-wag over a beer or two.
We're open to companies big and small. We also welcome early-stage technology businesses looking to learn how to get their ideas off the ground.
We also have a blog and encourage the community to get engaged by commenting on or writing new posts for http://www.mindtheproduct.com
Finally, check out our annual conferences in San Francisco and London: http://mtpcon.com

See all- PTHK#41: Vibe Coding or Hype Coding? Let’s Try It Together!Link visible for attendees
Date/Time: Oct 9, 2025 (Tue), 21:00–23:00 HKT (UTC+8)
Format: Google Meet virtual workshop
Organizers: ProductTank Hong Kong, Women Techmakers Hong KongJoin us for an interactive, hands-on session exploring “vibe coding” in the age of powerful generative AI. With tools like Google Gemini 2.5 Pro, ChatGPT 5, Claude 4, and Grok 4 now capable of producing high-quality code, what does this mean for product managers and product teams? Is “vibe coding” a genuine new workflow—or just hype? We’ll test it live.
What is vibe coding?
- A collaborative, conversational way to build software by guiding AI tools with intent, constraints, and iterative feedback—prioritizing product outcomes over syntax.
- You describe the vision, context, and user flows; the AI generates scaffolding, code, docs, and assets; you steer, critique, and refine.
What we’ll cover
Live demo: From concept to prototype
- We’ll turn a product idea into a working prototype together—expect missteps, debugging, prompt rewrites, refactors, and rapid iteration.
How modern GenAI impacts PM work
- Rapid prototyping to align stakeholders and inform design exploration
- Probing technical feasibility and discovering additional capabilities
- Drafting requirements and user stories (e.g., JIRA) with traceability
- Spinning up lightweight automation to streamline BAU tasks
Risks, limits, and what to watch out for
- Hallucinations, silent errors, and hidden technical debt
- Security, privacy, IP provenance, and compliance considerations
- Overfitting to happy paths; testing gaps and maintainability
- Prompt dependency, reproducibility, and version drift across models
- Organizational readiness: governance, review gates, and documentation
Who should attend
- Product managers, designers, founders, and tech-curious professionals
- No prior coding, vibe coding, or GenAI experience required
- Experienced vibe coders and AI-forward PMs are invited to share tips, prompts, and hard-won lessons
What you’ll take away
- A practical mental model for vibe coding
- A repeatable flow: define intent → scaffold with AI → validate → iterate → document
- Prompt patterns and rubrics for quality, security, and maintainability
- A checklist for safe and effective GenAI use in product development
Format and logistics
- 2-hour Google Meet workshop with live demo, Q&A, and collaborative discussion
- Please join from a desktop for the best experience; optional to follow along with your favorite GenAI tool
- The session will be recorded and may be shared later on the Mind the Product YouTube channel, and on ProductTank Hong Kong and Women Techmakers Hong Kong social accounts.
- While this event is hosted primarily for Hong Kong attendees—expect occasional Cantonese Q&A while the session is conducted mostly in English—members of ProductTank and Women Techmakers worldwide are welcome to join if the time fits.
Come ready to experiment, critique, and learn together. Let’s find out—vibe coding or hype coding?
