alt Hacker NewsMy company is doing this too. Our marketing team can use cursor web agents to make coding changes to the marketing website/blog/landing pages. The agents make the code change and make PRs in github where our tech team reviews it before merging. The marketing team is almost entirely non-technical.

I have non-technical people vibe coding internal tooling that the engineering team simply hasn't had time to get to [1]. It's been a big help internally. Maintenance isn't an issue because the effort to create it was so low, they'd just throw it away and create it again if necessary.
[1] Of course permissions are such that the tools can't do anything that would damage any of the systems.
To be fair marketing vibing content pages is different from managers vibing code that powers a trading app for example.
You just invented CMS.
How’s this actually going? I’m sure there are issues, but is it actually fruitful?
I'm sure a lot of companies are doing that as described (mine too), but I have never in my life heard someone classify website/blog/landing page changes as "production code".
I'm very much pro-AI but I'd quit your tech team on the spot if I were asked to review those.
Marketing team can vibe out PRs that engineers have to review and then shepherd out to production?
Sounds tight I love the direction industry is heading lol.
