Developers already delegate whole pipelines to AI. Why doesn't the rest of the business?

Description and use

<p>I've been writing C# and .NET for 20 years. For most of that time, "automation" meant the build pipeline: push code, tests run, it deploys, and nobody presses a button.</p> <p>For the last year it's gone further. I've delegated whole pipelines to Claude: not "write me this function", but "here's the job, carry it end to end, and tell me when you need me". Once you've worked like that, going back to prompting an AI one task at a time feels wasteful.</p> <p>Then I looked at the rest of a business. Support, ops, research, content, bookkeeping. They're pipelines too: work arrives, someone picks
