Why "Developers" are Obsolete (And What We’re Doing Instead)

AI can write code. Copilot can refactor. Junior devs are being replaced by prompts. So why did we just launch a software studio called Riolu?

Because Code is the easy part. The hard part is Context.
The "Developer" is dead. Long live the Product Engineer.

In this post, I break down why Riolu Studios focuses on the "Why" before the "How":

  1. The Context-First Workflow: How we bridge the gap between business goals and Git commits.
  2. Beyond the IDE: Why our best work happens in Figma and Whiteboards.
  3. The Riolu Standard: Why we believe the next generation of successful startups won't be built by "coders," but by "architects of experience."
