They lack 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, and 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭. That same pattern is showing up in development. As GenAI writes more of the code, individual lines hold less meaning. The real value is shifting. Not toward faster coding, but toward 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 for the people

It has been hinted, suggested, and quietly discussed in certain circles, big shifts could be coming for large enterprises.
