AI is transforming software engineering by shifting the role of engineers from manual coding to orchestrating and validating AI-generated solutions. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia has developed a framework to track this evolution and is actively adopting AI tools to boost productivity.

The big picture: AI-powered software engineering progresses from code completion to autonomous AI teams, redefining development workflows and roles.

Why it matters: Engineers using AI agents show up to 3x more merged pull requests, highlighting significant productivity gains.

The stakes: Successful adoption requires changes in team structure, governance, and training to handle increased delivery velocity and maintain quality.

Commenters say: Readers note the article’s frequent use of "engineering" dilutes the term, while appreciating the detailed AI adoption insights.
