The software org of tomorrow merges roles, and each engineer oversees more systems than before.
- Specialists who maintained one tool get squeezed, because AI makes any codebase easy to question and a generalist picks the tool up quickly.
- Some engineers move into the customer loop, and small pods of three or four form around one outcome and dissolve when it ships.
- Tests and agents check the code line by line. New code is cheap, so codebases multiply.
- The commit history shows who uses AI to travel further, working in code they never touched before and shipping more each quarter.
