@searls This is an odd distinction; in 30+ years of doing professional software development I’ve never observed this kind of split. Everyone has a mix of both capabilities & interests. Some may be *excluded* from participating one or the other due to organizational quirks, but this feels like a false distinction.

Also, if you believe you are “scorching through” your backlog with some AI tool, you’re probably fooling yourself & everyone who’s counting your judgement & expertise.
