There are moments in technology that are like standing on the edge of history not looking back at what has been achieved over the time but looking forward at what we are about to become and today is one of those moments. You can feel it in the industry and in the conversations between founders and engineers about the quiet shift happening inside.

A popular misconception that moves around the tech world today is that AI is here to replace the developers. I do not buy that narrative and I do not run my teams based on that belief either. Here is the truth most people do not want to say out loud. Most teams think that productivity is about doing more. But I have learned that it is not true. It is about doing less, the right kind of less. And now, most of our developers do only about 20% of their work. Not because they have become less valuable or not because they lack talent. But because the nature of value in technology has been shifted. Even with AI accelerating every industry, we are not removing developers from our teams or not automating people out of work or we are not replacing the human mind. Instead, we are doing something different, something far more ambitious. We are building an ecosystem where humans and AI amplify each other.

Why Off-the-Shelf AI is Not Enough

The future is not a battlefield where humans defend their work against AI, but is a canvas where both could work together. And to achieve that future, off-the-shell AI tools or generic chatbots are not enough. They do not learn your style. You do not change developer productivity using tools that behave the same for everyone.

Real value lies in building AI systems that do not just assist you but become extensions of how you work, that is, AI agents that are modelled after your thinking, your problem-solving patterns, your tone in feedback and code reviews. We are building custom AI agents, trained on the way our people think, work and solve problems. They are personalized, always-on replicas of your working patterns. They do not just assist but they anticipate.

• They learn your patterns.
• They write your bug reports.
• Review your documentation.
• Suggest your code comments the way you would.

And mainly they could do it faster than anyone could. That is the ecosystem we are building.

As automation takes up all the repetitive work, the human portion becomes more valuable and not any less. The twenty percent work that remains is not the leftover part of the job. It is the essence of the work. It is where judgement, ethics, creativity and problem-solving develops.

We are Still Experimenting and Evaluating

Of course, we are still in the early phase, not everything is figured out and the perfect method has not been written yet. There is no finished playbook for this. Innovations rarely begin at best practice. It begins with curiosity, experimentation, discomfort and the willingness to look wrong before you look perfect.

We are still experimenting and evaluating. And I always tell my team to stop waiting for someone else to find the perfect framework. and productivity . When people look back at this time, they will no longer see fear or loss. They will see the moment when developers have stopped working like machines and started shaping machines that think like them. This is always evolving and we are evolving along with it.

The Horizon We Shape

Every single era has a defining question that separates those who shape the future from those who merely react to it and we stand at such a threshold now. The tools around us are accelerating at a speed that our past selves could only dream of and still the essence of engineering remains beautifully unchanged.

What changes now is not our identity but the scale at which we operate. We are stepping into a world where our brilliance can be multiplied rather than measured by effort alone. Teams will not shrink. They will expand and innovations will not get slow, it will accelerate beyond anything that we have ever seen. We are opening a new horizon instead of calling it an end of the chapter.

The shift is here and would you be the one who builds an AI that thinks like you or would you be the one who competes with someone who already did?
