Last week, while reviewing new AI-powered development tools, I noticed something fascinating. The most effective users weren't traditional developers—they were product managers and business analysts who could clearly articulate their wants.

Here's the thing about modern software development: It's not about writing code anymore. It's about understanding problems and directing AI to solve them. Traditional developers struggle with this shift, while non-technical folks crush it.

Let me give you an example. Tools like Mimrr.com and Actual.ai are no longer code review tools. They're bridges between business needs and technical implementation. The old way was having senior developers correct junior developers' code. The new way? AI handles the coding while humans focus on the "what" and "why."

What I noticed is that the most successful teams are already shifting. Instead of hiring more developers, they're upskilling their product people to work with AI. Documentation becomes more valuable than code. Business logic trumps technical expertise. The secret sauce is knowing what to build, not how to create it.
