The most important coding skill for 2025–2026 isn’t syntax.
It’s engineering management at the micro level. Knowing how to organize 2-week sprints, break down features into tasks, assign “labor” to agents — and know whether the code is good or not.
The devs who can think like project leads — plan, review, and ship — will dominate this new era.
You don’t need to write all the code anymore.
You need to know what needs to be built, how to direct it, and when it’s done right.
