If code is easier to generate, what roles become the real bottleneck now?

by•

Being an engineer myself, I see that many people are outputting more code than ever. Some of it being generated vs. written, the volume of code being outputted has definitely risen. 

There seems to be a shift from "is this something we can build?" to "should we build this and ship it?"

For people who have been recruiting or looking to recruit recently, what roles are you hiring for? 

  1. Role title (I've seen a rise in PM's and Designers personally)

  2. What exactly can they do that AI can't (yet)

  3. Specific signal that you look for when hiring

Are you moving headcount from one type of role to another? 

Would be interested to hear from other growing teams! 🚀

Careful with statements like that. Shipping products built entirely with AI-generated code is risky — if you’ve ever worked on real software, you know why
