Software Engineering’s New Job: Write Specs, Not Code
The state of AI coding is changing fast. A new framework—five levels of AI (“vibe”) coding—shows how the competitive playing field is shifting from implementation speed to specification quality. In other words, software engineers are increasingly becoming product thinkers, where human judgment—clarifying intent, defining success, and evaluating outcomes—becomes the crucial skill for keeping pace with the accelerating AI frontier.
PM2NET takes a different approach with our Human First AI Governance. We believe validation, testing, and risk mitigation are more important than speed—especially at this early stage. We also believe it’s critical to understand the scope of the current acceleration of AI agents, and particularly where AI is beginning to replace parts of what engineers traditionally do.
