• Collaborate to solve complex technical challenges and make informed decisions on technology stack, architecture, and where AI meaningfully accelerates delivery.

4. Quality Assurance

• Ensure robust testing processes that keep quality high even as AI accelerates code generation — with the human review bar rising, not falling.
• Implement and enforce coding standards, code reviews, and practices that hold AI-generated and human-written code to the same standard.
