um which i think is basically shows that increasingly developers are choosing execution over process right like they don't just want you to own the workflow they want you to actually get the thing done which is what cloud code is doing really really well right now it's the number one tool we use at ai box so the shift i think that we're seeing right now is a lot of big implications if agents are doing the work then a lot of the traditional kind of workflow stickiness is becoming a lot less relevant in the past getting humans to operate inside of your software
