Unpopular Opinion: We aren't building the future 10x faster with AI. We are just generating legacy code 10x faster.
Everyone is currently bragging about developer velocity. "I built this entire backend in a weekend!" "AI wrote 80% of my codebase!"
But here is the reality check we are ignoring: Code is a liability, not an asset.
If an AI tool spits out 1,000 lines of functional boilerplate in five seconds, that is still 1,000 lines that a human being has to read, review, secure, and maintain when the dependencies inevitably break next year.
We are treating code generation like a pure productivity win, but we are optimizing for the wrong metric. The bottleneck in software engineering was never how fast we could type. The bottleneck has always been comprehension, architecture, and maintenance.
If we don't shift our focus from "generation speed" to "architectural sanity," the tech debt of the next five years is going to be an absolute, unmaintainable nightmare.
This is what an EXCEPTIONAL mindset thinks like and sounds like.
So impressive from a 22 years old.
Not only you CAN control what you think, and how you think it and why, but you SHOULD.
See your mind as a skill and practice it as such.

Hey @bcherny, Any suggestion for me?
Claude Code, plan mode is too eager to execute—I have to keep pressing Escape to make changes to the plan. Also, when I start a new plan for a related task in the same session, it updates the old plan instead of creating a new one
In my experience following tools are working best for me.
/superpowers:brainstorm
/superpowers:write-plan
/superpowers:execute-plan

Looking for help integrating Cursor rules with Git hooks: Has anyone set up Cursor's rules to run automatically via Git pre-commit or post-commit hooks? I'd like to ensure our codebase maintains certain standards by running these rules before/after commits. Any example scripts or configuration tips would be greatly appreciated! #cursor #git #devtools
I'm 57.
When I was young, I wasted years of life chasing happiness and ended up depressed…
Then I found the world's longest study on happiness directed by Harvard University.

Courage, thy name is Jaspreet.
But his education shouldn’t suffer.
I believe, he’s in Tilak Nagar, Delhi. If anyone has access to his contact number please do share it.
The Mahindra foundation team will explore how we can support his education.
