Why aren't we shipping faster now?

You can't go half-in with AI; need to go all-in. At 10:39, he's talking about how humans are reviewing the code. No. You cannot go half-in; have to go all-in and set up AI reviewers that match the best human code reviewer's heuristics. You cannot go half-in and have QA doing manual integration testing. You have to go all-in and AI driven, automated QA.

Speeding up delivery of code is forcing a lot of orgs to face a reckoning of inefficiency that they've built up over years that need to be fixed.

It wasn't until after factories were redesigned from the ground up to take advantage of electricity that the benefits of electrification were realized.

There's a persistent question in my circles: "what does it mean to be AI-native".

Your analogy here is apt because AI-native teams are the ones that are doing the impossible. I know 4 non-technical solo-founders (all had previously courted me pre-AI coding to be a technical co-founder) that are effectively shipping real products with no engineering team. One has 4 large universities signed.

These guys are all-in on AI because they could not exist without it; by necessity every leg of what they do is AI.

And also the other bottlenecks start to emerge, like product management & design.
