Agreed. This is pure architectural thinking: you hold the ground truth, enforce the strict IAM boundaries, and outsource the mud-playing to the LLM. Mindless 'vibe coding' without …

Guilty as charged. As a non-native speaker, I used an LLM to compile my original thoughts into fluent English. But notice the irony: I used AI exactly as I advocate. It handled the…

This is a phenomenal example of exactly what I am advocating. Notice you didn't ask the AI to 'just design a stereo pedal for me.' You interrogated it, reasoned about netlists, and…

Ironically, what you described is exactly using AI to help with deep work. You do the heavy lifting (reading), and use AI strictly for stateless verification and testing your menta…

Spot on. The ultimate bottleneck is no longer generation; it's verification. If you don't intrinsically know what 'right' looks like, AI simply helps you build the wrong thing fast…

Pure 'vibe coding' is essentially technical 'tittytainment'. Using AI for the horizontal spread while you enforce vertical architectural depth is true deep work.

We actually don't disagree at all—you are perfectly illustrating my point. Applying strict epistemic discipline (Popper, Russell) to resolve ambiguity and accelerate actual practic…

I burn through $5,000 a month in API tokens. I am the last person to romanticize manual toil. The issue is the difference between using AI for shallow outsourcing ('summarize this'…

I've been reflecting on how LLMs are changing our learning habits as engineers, and realized something worrying. AI can now quickly help search and research information, distilling…

Cloudflare’s dual 2025 outages weren't just about a missed Lua nil-check or a sloppy Rust unwrap(). They were the inevitable cost of "hotwiring" production to bypass ancient, broke…

Lately, many people have been talking about AI for Software Engineering (AI4SE), hoping to find the next big startup opportunity there. My view is straightforward: this path leads …

Many SRE and operations teams predominantly address operational risks through “additional approval processes” — whether for database schema changes, service deployments, client rel…
