🧪 Even when building is cheap, building the wrong thing is still expensive. GenAI doesn't fix your QA bottleneck, it pushes more code upstream of it. Ask each week: what did we learn that changed our plan? If nothing, it's theatre.

I spent a week warning about the risks of LLM code generation, then automated my own course-prep emails and shipped the exact mistake I was trying to design out, just faster. Making mistakes faster is not winning.

Automating the output and skipping the thinking. Unless we're all about to be replaced by machines, these skills are a complete waste of your time.

AI-assisted development is not about letting AI build everything.

It is about using AI to speed up coding, testing, review, documentation, and delivery, while engineers still own architecture, security, and production decisions.

AI-Assisted Software Development: Workflow, Risks, Best Practices
AI-assisted software development is the use of AI tools like chatbots, code assistants, and autonomous agents to help engineers write, review, test, and ship code.

📉 Lean too hard on AI and skills you stop using fade - it's Deskilling. Radiologists and pilots hit it first. Software's next unless we protect practice.

🃏 GenAI writes bad code by design: trained to pass tests, not to be maintainable. So it bluffs.

🐢 "It feels faster" isn't "it is faster."

One study: devs using GenAI on familiar code were 19% slower, while sure they'd sped up. Felt speed and real throughput barely correlate.

A third full: real but oversold. Don't trust the feel.

🥃 The glass isn't overflowing (AI replaces engineers next year) or empty (all hype). I'd put it a third full.

GenAI helps with drudge work, and turns 15-min tasks into 3-hour rabbit holes.

My course helps you find the real third.

The AI mandate, "daily use by every individual," is a KPI searching for a purpose. Set it aside and the org changes deserve credit.

In Spec-Driven Development, the spec is the single source of truth.
Code is generated from it. Tests are derived from it. Decisions are based on it.

AI models are trained to bluff.

Pass/fail training offers no reward for admitting uncertainty. Instead of "I don't know," you get a confident wrong answer. Researchers call it "test-taking mode."

Speeding up the initial page load of a static site is odd. I should have seen ~30 lines of code change (including variant text). Instead, I got 100+ lines of diffs. These tools can be helpful, but we need to know our tech stack well enough to judge output.
