AI Market: How AGI Became a Marketing Department Case
The article discusses how AI, particularly coding agents, is transforming the role of software developers. It highlights that 90% of professional developers use such tools weekly, with 68% daily, and about a third are 'agentic coders' who generate 84% of their code via AI. This shift is changing the developer's role from generalist to specialist, and now to a 'Forward Deployed Engineer' who works closely with clients. The article emphasizes that the real value of developers is shifting from pure coding capacity to understanding business context, identifying problems, and making sound technical decisions. It draws on examples from Google Research and the hiring practices of OpenAI and Anthropic, and suggests that businesses should focus on teams that can quickly build domain context rather than just counting developers.
