We’ve entered a new era in software development.
People from roles like product design or product ownership, who understand user needs and business goals, can now become more effective developers than some with years of engineering seniority.
Why? Because they embrace AI tools and know how to communicate intent. They’re not afraid to experiment, iterate, and improve their prompting. Their code might be sloppy at first, but they’ll outpace traditional devs in delivered value before long with enough curiosity and dedication.
The rules have changed. Clear thinkers and fast learners win. Not just coders.
