Great article Shrivu! What do you think will be the effort needed to articulate the desirable outcome of a SaaS product well enough for the AI to build? I mean you can’t just tell it that I want to hit $1B ARR with a cybersecurity product, go! So it needs to be broken into sub-outcomes (desirable feature?) and maybe sub sub outcomes (desirable component?).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!

1. I'm trying to concretize my own opinions about what timelines are going to look like, but "AI coding is here to stay" resonated - I think even in its current form, with no improvements, AI coding tools are already making engineers so much more effective, so it decidedly seems like the genie's out of the bottle

2. The distinction between High Stakes Adapters and Low-Stakes Adapters is not clear to me. Specifically, I get the idea at a high level, but I'm not personally able to come up with a set of characteristics that would make a role fall into either 1 category or the other (basically i don't know how to break down '"High-stakes adapters are required to maintain full-competence in the role that AI is replacing and be able to perform the full task “offline”' further - curious if you have more fleshed out thoughts here?
