What are AI agents for building software?

AI agents are autonomous tools that hook into dev environments like GitHub and Jira, handling tasks from code gen to deployments—letting solos punch at team weight.

How do you build at team-scale alone?

Pair experience with agents like Devin or custom Claude setups; document everything to shift your bottleneck from work to discovery.

Is visibility the new dev bottleneck?

Yes— in a flooded market, visible thinking (blogs, repos) trumps hidden skills every time.
