“your edge right now is understanding the possibilities and being curious”

Using AI for software engineering is now the default. The engineers I’ve seen who have the edge are ambitious and have been grinding with agents for years on the job at this point. It’s a compounding effect.

For teams still unsure or catching up, the smartest thing I can advise is to be even more ambitious and aggressively share what you learn with your peers.

Senior engineers should be the first to make this shift. Their decades of taste in system design and failure modes is the secret sauce that makes agent output good. They should direct their experience to building with agents better safety. Then show whats working to others to replicate.
