Why AI-Native Engineers Move Faster

It's not about typing speed or smarter shortcuts. AI-native engineers have quietly rewired how they think about building software - and the velocity gap it creates is hard to overstate. Speed is a funny thing in software. Everyone claims to move fast. Startups put it in their values decks; engineering leaders talk about "shipping culture" in every all-hands. But speed isn't really about hustle - it's about how much of your time is spent on problems that actually require you. An AI-native engineer has found a way to shrink that other category to almost nothing.
