More Software, Different Work

Generative AI and coding agents are lowering the cost of producing software, giving organizations the ability to build more products, automate more work, and pursue ideas that were previously too expensive.

As implementation becomes cheaper, the value of developers shifts toward defining problems, directing agents, designing systems, validating outcomes, and owning what reaches production.

The result is a changing industry—new software economics, new team structures, new career paths, and new expectations for the people responsible for turning abundant code into trusted software.
