I keep sitting down with engineering leaders who ask the same question in different words: “We’ve adopted AI coding assistants. Productivity is up. So why does everything still feel like it’s running on 2015 infrastructure?” Here’s the answer nobody wants to hear: your tools were never the bottleneck you thought they were. They were built to solve a problem AI has already solved.
