Code Was the Easy Part

Cosa saprai fare

• A short orientation — what this series covers, who it's for, and where to begin.
• The engineering workweek at AI-native companies, told through the people living it, from five numbered terminal tabs to the agent that deleted a production database.
• The compiler, the spreadsheet, the ATM, and the Linotype floor each took the technical work away — and each time the job moved up instead of vanishing.
• Work reached the developer pre-chewed until building got cheap; now the de-risking layers don't pay for themselves, and the PM and design crafts land on the builder's desk.
• Eight skills that survive every shift because they sit above the layer every wave automates — the framework this series builds on, with a this-week practice for each.
• The reset lands on four different desks — the closing chapter routes the CEO, the engineering leader, the builder, and the talent owner to their next move.
