Lots of rhetoric aimed at leadership teams positions the question about AI and software development as primarily whether it will replace engineers. It's the wrong question. Asking it means missing something more useful. The better question is what a single engineer can build in an hour, starting from scratch, and what that tells you about how technical work is changing.

The gap between a written product concept and working, tested, version-controlled code can now be closed without a developer writing a line of application code. From PRD to PR without code, automation is happening today.
