#3>You can’t prompt your way to [architectural design] knowledge. You can’t download that experience. You have to earn it. And if you’re letting AI do the work, you’re not earning anything except a dangerous dependency.
I agree, but I do wish it weren't true, and we had a better toolkit/set of terms/actual studied and consistent methods. Sometimes it feels like "well of course not, [reasons]" and sometimes it's just "surely we have more strong patterns than GoF or Uncle Bob wrote up, and random blog posts aren't the bleeding-edge of our skill sharing".
(in no small part because I don't want Uncle Bob to have described the most reliable strategies, that'd be incredibly depressing)

#4The Augmentation vs Abdication framing is great. It also reflects my own experience in a different field: marketing. More specifically, coming up with messaging & positioning.
If you want something clear and compelling you can’t one-shot it, so you end up spending all day and night going back and forth with Gemini or Claude or whatever your cup of tea…
In the end I had something that looked great from the surface, but I felt completely lost in it. I couldn’t tell you what’s the core idea underpinning the whole thing, let alone explain it convincingly to the founders I work with.
The feeling is unsettling, but it has a benefit: it’s a signal that you’ve gone too far and need to re-calibrate.
In the end I found a great balance between the AI’s ability to synthesize vast information and offer endless alternatives to phrasing, with my personal taste and intuition. Augmentation.

#5This whole article is just AI slop itself. I couldn’t read past the first paragraph before the emdashes and the stench of GPT crept in.
