03 The Architect of Intent

Published 25 May 2026 PDF 1 resource
If the codebase can drive itself, what is left for the engineer to do? This paper answers: become the architect of intent. The engineer is no longer a coder but a craftsperson of specifications, contexts, and evaluation suites — the artefacts that direct and constrain autonomous systems. The paper redefines seniority, skill, and career progression around this new craft, and is dedicated "for every engineer learning to compose rather than perform."
