🚨 The battle for the future of software is no longer about who can write code fastest — it’s about who owns the data and context to power AI. Generative coding agents and tools from Anysphere, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf Cognition and poolside are commoditizing software development. In this new era, context is king and data is the moat. Winners will be those who: 1️⃣ Embed deeply into workflows to capture rich, high-fidelity data 2️⃣ Engineer context precisely at inference time 3️⃣ Reinforce models through usage, not static prompts Legacy SaaS vendors face eroding moats. AI-native apps with data flywheels and contextual intelligence are rising fast. 👇 Full article in the comments. If you’re building in this space, I want to hear from you.

Matt, so timely. I just finished reading https://www.linkedin.com/posts/fawadkhaliq_contextengineering-cursor-claude-activity-7357826796043579392-Vqf5 and saw your post. It’s all about ‘Context’ :)
Matt, 100% agree. Context is king. At Daxa, we’d go further: there’s no AI governance without context governance. That’s where the real guardrails live
100% Context is king!
Agreed ! Context Engineering is a force multiplier of AI adoption
Spot on, Matt! Yes proprietary data and precise context engineering are the key.
