It really is, and funny thing is, use of old rules and solid frameworks aren’t just relevant for AI-assisted coding, but for so many other areas of expertise too.
Thanks Jenny, this is such a great piece. I thought that your reflections that AI "Optimizes for 'works right now,' not 'works well as it grows' are also symptomatic of some of the broader issues with AI, even away from software engineering as well. 🙏
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment, Sam! It’s true, that short-term optimization bias shows up in many AI applications beyond code. It’s a broader pattern worth watching.
An essential read, the old rules of programming are more relevant than ever. A good framework is crucial for a stable system, especially with AI.
Thank you so much, Sharyph!
