I 10x’d My Output by Delegating These 7 Things to AI (And Why I’ll Never Delegate These 6) - 06 of 21
Short summary
Spring 2026 brings precise delegation: engineers should delegate boilerplate, tests, docs, code translation, routine bug fixes, code review, and commit messages to AI—all reach 40–67% efficiency gains with proper review. Keep architecture, business context, security, long-term strategy, stakeholder management, and AI system design human-owned. The emerging discipline: AI Orchestrator—the engineer who designs agent systems rather than writing code.
- •Delegate: boilerplate, tests, docs, translations, bug fixes, code review, commits (40–67% faster)
- •Keep human: architecture, business context, security, strategy, stakeholder management, agent design
- •New role: AI Orchestrator—designs AI systems instead of writing code
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
Is this a good recommendation for you?
