5/ The uncomfortable question is not:

“Can AI write software?”

It can.

The uncomfortable question is:

“What happens when we generate software faster than we can understand it?”

1/ AI is helping teams write code faster.

⚠️ But that might become dangerous, because not all aspects of software engineering accelerate at the same rate.

[Javier Donado @jdonado]

4/ That uneven acceleration is where the trap begins.

The code may be ready in minutes, but someone still has to ask:

Should this exist?

Can we maintain it?

Can we explain it later?

Try the experiment yourself 🎮

Curious which comparison will break your intuition first. Tell me 👇

[Javier Donado @jdonado]

We are surrounded by numbers that shape decisions and headlines 🌍 GDP, national debt, energy consumption, astronomical distances. Yet once numbers get big enough, intuition breaks.

I wrote about the idea behind it and why visual intuition might matter more than we assume:

I genuinely admire Claude’s optimism: “great progress!”

How thinking like an engineer can sharpen your management instincts 📈🧠

Thinking like an engineer helps you reason about these effects without blaming people for problems created by the system 🧠⚙️
