Leading engineering teams and technical strategy.
It knows fifty design patterns — that's the problem. The most dangerous case isn't when it picks a bad pattern; it's when it picks a reasonable one, commits it as if you'd decided, and never mentions a choice was made.
A viral clip claimed AI autonomously built a C compiler and replaced developers. Reading the actual engineering post tells a calmer, more interesting story.
I thought AI would help me write code faster. What actually changed was everything else about the job.
AI mirrors your enthusiasm instead of challenging you. Why that's dangerous, and how to deliberately engineer disagreement into your process.
A robot teaching a gosling to survive by checking off tasks is a surprisingly good metaphor for how junior developers are learning to code with AI.
