When code generation becomes cheap, operational excellence becomes the differentiator.
Anyone can build a demo in an afternoon.
The value is in:
• Running systems at scale
• Recovery from failures
• Security, trust, maintenance
Software engineering is programming over time.
"I shipped more code last quarter than ever. I also felt more drained than ever. These two facts are not unrelated."
AI fatigue is real. Engineers building AI infrastructure are burning out.
Not because they're weak. Because AI turned them into reviewers.
Research shows AI doesn't reduce work—it intensifies it.
We're doing more tasks in the same time.
The paradox: each task takes less time, so expectations expand. More features, bugs, meetings.
We optimized for speed. We forgot to optimize for thinking.
