## What Jamie wrote

Friend and Weekly Thing reader Rajiv Pant (👋 hey Rajiv!) breaks down how to pivot our thinking about engineering capability as you transition into an AI-native approach. He even walks through how to phase the transformation that he describes. At the core is thinking more about the value provided and less about individual productivity metrics. I think there is some nuance there in the mental model. I’m currently more in the mindset of agentic engineers working alongside people to contribute value to a project. More horizontally integrated. However, if we take a more vertical approach as Rajiv suggests and consider the people the designers and the LLM the coder, that would result in a different view. Thought provoking regardless of how you approach it.
