Every CEO Is Living Through Y2K Again

Overnight, Neil Fox argues, a developer can become a supervisor of AI agents. That is not a tooling upgrade. It is an identity shift, and most organisations have no plan for it.

Neil, Chief Transformation Officer at Artizent, has spent a lifetime in software and now works as much with business leaders as with engineers. He explains why agile teams of seven to nine are shrinking to pods of three, why the bottleneck has moved from writing code to deciding what is worth building, and why treating AI as a time-saver misses its real value: running thousands of experiments at once. We also get into the token budgets CFOs have no idea how to plan, and the question Neil wishes more leaders asked: what does all this do to us as a society?
