The Abstraction Line Is Rising

Every generation of tooling absorbs the complexity of the previous one. We don't write assembly anymore. Soon, we won't write most implementation code either. The abstraction line rises with each era — what falls below it becomes invisible to the practitioner.

When AI handles implementation, anyone with domain expertise can build product, automate workflows, analyze data, and create tools that previously required dedicated engineering effort.

The question isn't who can code — it's who can specify, validate, and orchestrate.
