Why 'Trivial' Tech Travels Across Industries: The 5-Layer Diagonal-Axis Engineer Framework

TL;DR I'm a non-coding engineer (operations background) who builds tools through AI collaboration. This post argues that non-coding engineers — not programmers — are positioned as AI's biggest beneficiaries in the current era. The diagonal-axis engineer thrives via 5 layers: dimensional crossover, value asymmetry, handover ability, ownership avoidance (AI-to-AI handover spec), and diagram-as-source. "Trivial" tech (pandas + Excel batch files) wins in business contexts because operators can pick
