Built with AI, not built by AI
You still can't build serious software autonomously. Taste of the discerning artist goes a long way.
Tokens accelerate drafting, scaffolding, and exploration. They do not replace accountability for correctness, safety, or product judgment.
Serious software still requires humans who can taste the difference between plausible output and production-grade systems. Throughput from tokens to committed code may look high; judgment remains the bottleneck.
Use AI as leverage inside a craft culture. Do not outsource the definition of done to a model that cannot own the pager.
