Strategy and execution aren’t a binary. Every piece of work sits somewhere on a spectrum, depending on how much of the intent is still open when it reaches you.
In software, the spectrum runs through typing out a function someone else specified, implementing a feature from a spec, designing the system behind it, choosing which features to build, and choosing which customers to build for. Each step involves less translation and more meaningmaking (see execution is translation, strategy is meaningmaking).
Almost no work is pure translation, since even typing out a specified function involves small judgment calls. But the more of the intent is already settled, the less meaningmaking is left to do.
Very few jobs sit at a single point on the spectrum. Most people do a mix, and the mix is what matters, because AI absorbs work starting from the execution end.
