The piece argues coding was never the bottleneck - that the real frontier is coordination, review, handoffs. I half agree. But framing it as "coding vs. coordination" lets senior leaders off the hook for the harder diagnosis.
Here is the precise mechanism: AI didn't reveal a coordination problem. It revealed a *judgment* problem. Who decides what to build. Who owns the review call. Who closes the loop between agent output and a real decision.
Coordination is the symptom.
Unowned judgment under pressure is the cause.
Fix the org chart of decisions, not the workflow diagram.

Thank you Teodora, judgment and accountability to drive decisions.
I appreciate your comment as well as your tremendous work here.
