The Human Chief Engineer

As AI takes over more of the actual coding work, a new role is emerging at the center of software development: the human chief engineer who directs, governs, and ultimately owns the system. This episode explores what that role looks like in practice and why experienced professionals are uniquely positioned to fill it. The conversation examines how the shift from writing code to directing AI changes what it means to be a great engineer.
