Coding is figured out. Engineering is back. That's the shift, and it's already showing up in who excels and who gets stuck.

Carrick Carpenter, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Aditi Consulting, sits down with Andrew Duncan for a peer conversation about what actually changes inside a services firm when AI rewires the delivery model. Aditi runs 2,000+ employees, 70+ Fortune 500 clients, three continents. Andrew runs Vertice Labs at the boutique end. Same tension, different scale.

They go past "AI-native" positioning into the mechanics: why roles are collapsing, what a 90-pull-request engineer looks like in practice, why the people best at AI burn out fastest, and what Carrick got wrong in his first four months on the job.
