What AI First Engineering Orgs Look Like
Every process a software team runs was built to manage a scarce resource. For twenty years that resource was engineering time. Agile managed it with short cycles and constant renegotiation.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Every process a software team runs was built to manage a scarce resource. For twenty years that resource was engineering time. Waterfall managed it with sequencing. Agile managed it with short cycles and constant renegotiation. Both approaches assume the same thing: writing code is the expensive step, so protect it with process. That assumption is breaking. At AI first orgs, writing code, writing tests, and refactoring stop being the bottleneck. The bottleneck does not disappear, it moves. Verification, code review, and security start taking up the time that typing code used to take. If your team’s process still optimizes for the old bottleneck, it is optimizing for the wrong thing, and it is probably making you slower without anyone noticing. This is not a call to throw out process.
