# Context Is the New Code

In traditional development, your job was writing code. The code was the work product. Better code meant better results.

In AI-native development, AI writes the code. Your job is providing context. The context is the work product. Better context means better results.

This is a bigger shift than most people realize.

Context is everything AI needs to understand what you want:

Intent. What are you trying to accomplish? Why does it matter? What does success look like?

Constraints. What are the boundaries? Technical limits, business rules, compatibility requirements.

Standards. What does "good" look like for you? Coding standards, design patterns, quality expectations.
