AI is a nail gun. In the hands of someone unskilled, it’s dangerous. In the hands of a professional, it speeds them up enormously. And in the end, all anyone cares about is that a nail exists in that location.
This is very interesting. In the world of AI coding, it's not enough to put the nail on the right spot, at the right angle and flush with the surface. You also need to ensure each nail will remain in that exact position as the system evolves. Agents have a tendency to touch parts of the system they didn't have to, and catching those problems can be evry tricky.
Obvious caveat that as the system evolves, a prior nail may actually have to be removed. That's not the situation I'm talking about.
