I disagree 🙂.

Let’s take this quote:

‘Someone saying, "We're an electricity-first company, before using manual tools, we'll try electric ones first, etc." doesn't sound all that smart and innovative.’

Being an “electricity-first” company is meaningless today. But what if electricity that’s broadly available is *new*? What if people in the company are slow or hesitant to adopt it?

The whole AI first framing is a push to overcome barriers to adoption. Barrier to adoption across all the functions in the company, not just engineering.

The point is to adopt it across the board. Not (just) into the product but into the “factory.” Into how finance does audits. How marketing does research. How sales tailors messages to leads.

So it should be the CEO, not the CTO driving it.

And it should be done, because we are in the middle of a transformational shift in tooling. Just like electricity.
