2025 was the year code became cheap.

With agentic tools, writing code is no longer the hard part but directing work is. The problem is that shipping didn’t get 5x-10x faster. You still need:

🧠 transforming a problem into the minimum tech solution 👀 reviewing outcomes, not lines of code 🧪 defining and trusting tests 🚀 shipping safely, fast, and often

You are basically witnessing Amdahl’s Law in action. If a part of your work cannot be sped up, that part will eventually dominate everything else - no matter how much you optimize the rest.

So 2026 is where the split happens. Not between "good" and "bad" engineers, but between orgs that can handle a FLOOD of AI-gen code and those that can’t.

Like it or not, but most new code will be written by AI. Humans will set intent, check results, and decide what actually matters. The real advantage will come from faster review/validation/rollback/product decisions.

You’ll immediately see who got it right:

1️⃣ endless PRs, flaky systems, slow progress 2️⃣ tight loops, fast experiments, solid products built by tiny teams

2026 is about improving your processes/pipeline.
