We Already Left the Road AI writes better code, faster. What it’s quietly taking with it is the debugging sessions, wrong turns, and war-room scars that used to turn people into engineers. There’s a difference between traveling and arriving, and I don’t think enough people are talking about it. Picture a group of friends driving an SUV from point A to point B. You don’t just cover distance — you get a flat tire at 2 AM and it becomes a story. You take a wrong turn that costs three hours and it becomes a scar you’re weirdly fond of. Someone forgets to fill the tank and you’re all pushing the damn thing half a mile down a dark road, laughing because what else are you going to do. You arrive tired, dirty, and a little different than when you left. ...

You’re evaluating a skillset that has no established benchmark, for a discipline that hasn’t completed a single full enterprise implementation cycle, against outcomes nobody has quantified. ...

AI and Human Race - Point of NO return This post is NOT curated NOR written by AI, for a reason Purely from ONE human to another While everyone is busy with the #AI bandwagon in different capacities such as Some doing AI/RAG/LLM Others making $ in NVDA and others While majority have replaced search engine aka google with AI tool of their choice for everyday activities What we completely lost is that, this is a HUMANITY altering event that NEVER took place, not at least in the past 1000’s of years. ...
