“There is this 52 to 1 ratio. So for 52 weeks, we are aligning and then we are coding for one week now… What matters now is how we collaborate, how we communicate, how we create that consensus.”

The researcher was passing on a line that Miro's head of engineering workflows heard from technical architects and turned into a team slogan. The point is that with AI writing code fast, alignment becomes the dominant cost of building software.

…now, any work you do is perfectly conceptualized with the help of an AI that can give you in-moment feedback about what you are doing and always be available very contextually to provide you the information that you need to improve. So also that adaptation onboarding process is super fast as well.
Amazing. Thank you for that. And if we circle back just really quick to our initial talk about the product development lifecycle changing and how the engineer's role is changing, are there any other insights that you have learned that we haven't touched on?
My engineer, head of engineering workflows, an amazing guy, he also used that in a talk, which was a very strong statement coming from a couple of users that then we evolved into a slogan, which was these are technical architects, the people who are responsible for building the technical architecture of companies. They were saying like, there is this 52 to 1 ratio. So for 52 weeks, we are aligning and then we are coding for one week now. All that alignment, all those weeks of understanding each other, understanding the limitations, possibilities, and creating that consensus for just one week of coding. So what a shift in the entire world where this has turned upside down on its head, where what matters now is how we collaborate, how we communicate, how we create that consensus. How do we make sure that we understand each other…
so researchers are here to stay but our role is evolving and yeah one in the product is becoming a builder and there are these more skills that we can learn not need but we can learn right now the world is our oyster and we can explore other specialties so if just to wrap it up if there was one…
and box and build and break things i'm not talking about build a product build up a workflow for yourself uh with the help of ai what it can look like how it can be improved and then break it and then build it again and get comfortable with breaking making mistakes it not working because then the…
enjoy the process yeah yeah it should be fun yeah so now it's the time to experiment thank you dennis for sharing that for coming to the show and good luck in the future we cannot wait to see what's next
