Why the next software development revolution isn’t about code, it’s about context. Two decades ago, software engineering had a bottleneck problem: getting working code from a developer’s head into production reliably. We solved it. Waterfall gave way to Agile. Agile gave way to DevOps. DevOps gave us pipelines, automation, and a shared language between development and operations. The bottleneck moved.
