Paweł ŚwiątkowskiLLMs are not democratizing programming. Unless by "democratization" we mean giving more influence to people with more money. Which might be pretty good comment on democracy in 2020s.

I see many AI proponents advising "Use it to build all of your own tooling". This falls apart when people and orgs depend on those tools. Total cost of ownership is:
TCO = Cost of creation + (Cost of annual maintenance * years)
Does AI make maintenance cheaper? Is it easy to maintain a big pile of AI generated code? GitHub's downtime chart would suggest the answer is "NO".

Dare ObasanjoA trap I see product teams fall into is confusing activity with progress. Progress is having a goal and hitting milestones towards that goal. Reducing app startup time by 5 seconds, growing active users to 50K or making $500 in sales are all goals you can make progress towards.
Activity is work that feels like it gets you towards that goal but actually doesn’t. How much code written or PRDs produced are examples of activity that people confuse with progress.

While adding new shiny features to your application, it’s worth checking if everything that was already shipped is still worth maintaining.

John NunemakerEveryone has great ideas. The difference between the people who crush it in life and those who don’t are the ones who actually decide to bring their ideas to life. - Will Guidara

Robert RoskamThe best software engineers solve problems, not just write code.
They ask:
- What problem are we actually trying to solve?
- Is this the right problem to solve?
- What's the simplest solution that could work?
- What are the trade-offs?
- How will we know if it's working?
Writing code is the implementation detail. Understanding the problem space, considering alternatives, and thinking through implications—that's where the real value lies.
Code is just the tool. Problem-solving is the skill.
