Stop correcting AI code. Build the system agents need.
Summary

Patrick Debois, coiner of DevOps, argues that as AI agents replace human code writing, the software development lifecycle must shift to a 'context development lifecycle' where engineers improve the system rather than correcting agent outputs. This requires platform engineering teams to build infrastructure that packages, distributes, and observes context across teams, scaling from individual workflows to organizational platforms. The transition mirrors DevOps in requiring cultural and process changes, not just tooling, to move from deterministic to probabilistic systems.
