Coding agents are better than you think

Many developers say AI isn’t good enough to build with seriously. That judgment sounds level-headed. It’s increasingly based on an outdated frame of reference.

Coding agents make mistakes. That’s beyond dispute. But something structural has changed in recent months: the production layer of software has been extremely compressed. Tasks that used to take days or weeks are now — when properly scoped — completed in hours or minutes.

That difference is underestimated.

Many organizations are making the same mistake right now. They recognize that AI matters, decide “we should do something with it,” and then assign one or two people to explore it. Juniors. Or an enthusiast. Or someone who happens to be between projects. Let someone figure out what it can do first, then we’ll see.

That sounds reasonable. It is strategically unwise.

The real value of AI lies in seeing more clearly what needs to change — which steps have become redundant, what needs to be built, where competitive advantage emerges. That kind of judgment belongs to the people with the most experience, the most context, and the most responsibility. AI adoption therefore belongs in the center of the organization. With your best people.
