From Copilots to Orchestrators: A 12 Week Playbook for Training Engineering Teams Using AI
Tuesday Mar 17 / 05:05PM GMT
Most engineering teams are stuck treating AI as autocomplete. Engineers have GitHub Copilot installed (or Claude or Cursor or whatever), they're generating snippets faster, but leaders can't connect usage to business outcomes—and developers are shipping code they don't fully understand.
