Why AI Development Tools Are About to Shift

Luke from Factory AI builds Droid, and I asked him straight up: where is AI coding actually headed? His answer surprised me. The next evolution isn't about more powerful models. It's about AI that enforces software engineering best practices by default - linting, testing, CI/CD, proper architecture, all baked in. He went deeper on monorepos becoming standard, migrations completely changing and self-hostable models making this affordable for solo devs. If these predictions land, it's a massive shift for how we ship software.
