Perhaps the most strategically significant trend: agentic coding expanding beyond professional engineers to everyone in the organization.
Zapier’s 89% Adoption
Zapier achieved 89% AI adoption across its entire organization with 800+ agents deployed internally. Design teams prototype in real time during customer interviews. Non-technical employees debug network issues and perform data analysis.
The Lawyer Who Codes
A lawyer at Anthropic with no coding experience built self-service tools that triage issues before they hit the legal queue. This isn’t an anomaly — it’s the new normal. The barrier separating “people who code” from “people who don’t” is becoming permeable.
The Numbers
- By 2026, roughly 40% of enterprise software is expected to be built using natural-language-driven “vibe coding”
- Low-code AI platforms have compressed agent deployment from months to 15-60 minutes
- Nearly all U.S. enterprises plan to expand use of AI agents within the next year
Why This Is Structural, Not Just Productive
This isn’t just productivity improvement. It’s a structural reallocation of who can create software-driven solutions. When domain experts build their own solutions — when marketing doesn’t need engineering tickets, when operations automates their own workflows — the organizational bottleneck structure changes fundamentally. The speed of innovation shifts from engineering capacity to orchestration capacity.
