Pressure moving upstream
Last week’s LinkedIn post about AI-assisted coding clearly struck a nerve.
What stood out in the comments wasn’t speed.
It was where the pressure has moved.
When implementation gets faster, pressure moves upstream.
It no longer sits in syntax.
Or debugging.
Or getting something to compile.
It sits in decisions.
What should this do?
Where does it belong?
What pattern are we reinforcing?
AI accelerates implementation.
It doesn’t remove responsibility.
If anything, it exposes it.
Because when building is easy, unclear structure compounds faster.
The bottleneck isn’t typing speed anymore.
It’s clarity.
If you haven’t seen the original discussion yet, the comments are worth your time: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7428544785373843456/
Curious whether you’re feeling this too.
