What you'll learn

How roles are shifting in the AI era

What actually changes when everyone can build? Do we still need distinct roles for design, product, and engineering?

What changes when everyone can ship stuff

Teams that rarely got developer time now build their own tools. What does that unlock, and where does it create new risk

How real teams are approaching the shift

Is the Builder role just a nice story, or is it already happening? Examples of how real teams adopt new workflows

How to work across disciplines without stepping on toes

Collaboration, rituals, and handoff patterns that reduce friction when one person can suddenly do a bit of everything

Career scope, growth, and hiring signals

How to position yourself as roles evolve: which skills compound and what teams are likely to value next.

Why this topic matters

AI building tools are blurring boundaries on org charts. Designers, PMs, sales, marketing, ops, and HR are all shipping code or at least shipping something code-adjacent. That is exciting, and also chaotic if teams do not renegotiate ownership, quality bars, and collaboration norms. See the next wave of cross functional work unfolding, what the Builder role gets right (and wrong).
