Leading product in enterprise is different. AI agents need the same things human developers need: fast CI pipelines, clear documentation, well-defined services, less friction. The organizations that chronically underfunded developer experience are now discovering they can't make agents work either.

Here's the opportunity: the AI moment is creating permission to invest in foundations that teams have always needed. Testing infrastructure, build speed, environment setup, documentation quality. The work that makes humans productive is the same work that makes agents productive. Leaders who see this get a dual return — faster teams and AI that actually works.

If your developers are fighting slow builds and broken environments, your agents will too. Fix the foundation. Everything else follows.
