AI-Native Software Engineering: The New Physics of Software Velocity

AI-Native Software Engineering explores a fundamental shift in how software is built now that execution has become cheap and abundant. Unlike previous technological changes, AI collapses long-standing constraints that shaped traditional engineering teams, workflows, and SDLCs, making it possible for a single individual to design, generate, validate, and operate systems that once required entire teams. Drawing from real end-to-end systems, Jeff Boggs demonstrates how modern software development is moving away from role-based execution toward system-level thinking, orchestration, and intent. This book is not about prompts or productivity tricks; it is about a new engineering archetype-the software orchestrator-who focuses on decomposition, feedback loops, and strategy while AI handles implementation. Written for senior engineers, technical leaders, and founders questioning traditional team models, AI-Native Software Engineering argues that when execution is no longer scarce, clarity of thought becomes the true competitive advantage.
