Council Post: Learning (And Leading) In The Age Of AI

In an op-ed for N2N Services founder and CEO Kiran Kodithala, leadership in the AI era is reframed around learning rather than delegating expertise. After 15 years away from coding, Kodithala returned to development earlier this year for AI-assisted work, with his son as coach. He argues the “experience curve” that justified seniority relied on a stable toolchain, but AI has disrupted it quickly—his team shipped millions of lines using AI as co-author within a sprint. He says junior developers fixed problems in days because they lacked muscle memory to unlearn. The takeaway: leaders must judge by output and actively become students.
