I have been a software engineer long enough to have the grey hairs to show for it. Monolith to microservices and back. Waterfall to Agile to Kanban. None of it compares to what I am watching now. Engineers on my team are running six to eight agents at once. Writing code is not the bottleneck anymore. Knowing what to build and measuring what shipped is. The first half of that is going well across the industry. Shipping velocity is up dramatically. The second half is where most teams are stuck, running the same before-and-after gut check they used five years ago. That gap is the opportunity. The person who can measure the effect of what ships will find the right product faster than anyone else. Flag a feature or launch a test from your IDE. Start at growthbook.io.
