AI is an exoskeleton, not a coworker
I keep noticing the same pattern: companies that treat AI as an autonomous agent that should “just figure it out” tend to be disappointed. Meanwhile, companies that treat AI as an extension of their existing workforce, an amplifier of human capability rather than a replacement, are seeing genuinely transformative results.
Don’t ask “can AI do a developer’s job?” Ask “what are the 47 things a developer does in a given week, and which of those can be amplified?”
