Satya Nadella frames AI not as a tool upgrade — but a structural rewrite of how work happens. He compares today’s moment to the PC revolution: Before PCs: • Faxes • Interoffice memos • Manual aggregation After PCs: • Excel • Email • Standardized workflows Now, AI is triggering the next shift. At LinkedIn, Nadella describes collapsing multiple roles — product manager, designer, frontend and backend engineer — into a single full-stack builder. Why it matters: • Fewer handoffs • Faster iteration • Higher idea throughput • One person, end-to-end ownership This isn’t about replacing people. It’s about changing the work artifact and the workflow at the same time. That’s where productivity actually compounds. Follow to learn the latest insights on VC, finance, tech, and markets.

At LinkedIn, we used to have product managers, we had designers, we had front-end engineers, and then we had back-end engineers and so on. So what we did is we sort of took those first four roles and combined that increased scope and said, they're all full-stack builders.
