Use AI to move faster. Ship more. Improve your products. Let it speed up development and raise the bar.
But make sure you understand the code and can stand behind its quality.
If only an agent can read and modify your codebase, you’ve outsourced ownership of your product. Many of us already depend on big platforms. Don’t add another layer of fragility.
Adapt. Just don’t give up control.

@simonbs “…another layer of fragility.” - I like that, very good way of expressing it.

@simonbs Also, you know, code *does things*.
The whole point of code is to do things. This often includes making "real world" things happen that have real consequences.
If the code is low quality then it is likely to do the things wrongly.

@simonbs I often tell the agent “this code is kinda confusing. Can it be simplified so <explain simpler pattern>” and it always says “You’re right!”
