My read–which may be wrong–is that much of the article is discussing applications where the end user is interacting with an interface that queries an LLM using baked-in prompts (in one case, a marketing content generation tool). These prompts are being written by the PM. The PM is not writing prompts LLMs to generate code, the PM is writing prompts which are hidden behind a web form or button or something in an interface, hence the prompts being part of the codebase. The author argues that when a PM is editing these prompts they are delivering an artifact that looks more like an engineer's artifact than a PM's artifact, traditionally.
