Coding is no longer the scarcity. The bottleneck moved to verification, review, and judgment — and the playbooks built for the old constraint are quietly costing you a year of compounding.
These are field notes from the senior engineers who actually ship production AI inside enterprise codebases. No frameworks. No "AI strategy." Just what works at scale — and what quietly breaks.
For two decades, engineering bandwidth was the expensive thing — so we built waterfall, agile, kanban around it. That constraint just moved. Here's where the new bottleneck lives, and what it means for how enterprise teams plan.
The headline that engineers are going away is wrong. The job is shifting from production to verification, review, and supervising fleets of agents. Here's what that actually looks like inside a real codebase.
Raw output is not the bar anymore. We index on creative builders with product sense, and deep systems experts for the parts where subtly wrong is still wrong. Here's how we screen for both inside enterprise teams.
