Human laziness is a strength

Effort is painful, and pain drives improvement. Don't let AI hide the pain.

Encode what the system values, automate what you can, and keep humans for the rest.

How (not) to do software estimation

Use orders of magnitude, not story points.

What not to delegate to AI

Delegating these things to AI leads to unsustainable systems.

AI can write the code, but it can’t feel when the interface is wrong.

You need to calm down

AI isn’t changing the fundamentals of building software. It’s changing the speed. Don’t confuse the two.
