It's an absolute tornado of PRs these days. Everyone making the most of these tools is effectively an engineering team lead.

It's an absolute tornado of PRs these days. Everyone making the most of these tools is effectively an engineering team lead.
The CTO/VP of engineering role down is now singularly focused on keeping agents fed with a backlog of Linear issues. This is the new normal.
As a CTO I can say that this is not my experience.
My experience these days is fighting corporate bureaucracy and inertia to make sure we reap the benefits of faster coding. Feeding agents with work is not a problem. Building teams that use those tools effectively is the problem. (Say, shall we merge product and engineering teams? Do we start getting rid of people who refuse to use AI? What do we do with pentests? How do we strengthen the tools that do code analysis and weed out lazy devs who can now more easily pretend to be invested in their work? Stuff like this keeps me busy.
