They are related, but not the same.:’Build focus defines.It answers: what capability am I responsible for creating and evolving?We organize build work into four stacks:The foundation. Identity, cloud control planes, networking, security, reliability primitives.Shared capabilities. Data pipelines, AI/ML systems, agents, workflows, APIs.Delivery surfaces. Apps, APIs, interaction layers, conversational experiences.Domain intelligence. SecOps, Fraud, Asset, etc., where outcomes are defined.Every role has a.That focus determines what you own long-term.:Run focus defines.It answers: how does this behave in production, under pressure?We use four run focus:How signals, data, and events enter the system safely.What work happens deterministically without humans.How decisions are sequenced, governed, and escalated.How outcomes are delivered, explained, and consumed.Every role participates in one or more.Some design them.Some operate within them.But no one builds without understanding how their work runs.,AI is not a separate team or a feature for us.AI worksin both build and run:• generating code, configuration, and tests• exploring edge cases and failure modes• proposing decisions and explanationsBut AI never owns outcomes.Humans review.Humans decide.Humans are accountable.That’s intentional.//CI/CD is not “everyone’s job”, and it’s not nobody’s job.• Roles with high blast radius (infra, platform) own pipelines and release safety.• Other roles participate by writing tests, respecting gates, and understanding rollout behavior.Shipping is expected.Shipping safely is designed.---This matters enough to say explicitly.In every role:• AI may assist• automation may execute• pipelines may deployBut a human is always responsible for:• approving changes• stopping unsafe behavior• owning consequencesWe design systems where judgment is not optional.
