AI coding tools are optimising the wrong thing and nobody wants to hear it. Writing code was already fast. The bottleneck is everything else: unclear requirements, review queues, terrified deploy cultures, and an org chart that needs six meetings to decide what colour the button should be.

Exactly, and now we’re rushing through the important stuff because we’re forced to output more due to the “productivity” of AI.

Don’t forget thinking…

It is said in the development community that as a junior you write more code and think less, and when you become more senior you think more and write less code.

Every move of the past 20 years has been to deploy code faster, and all it cost us was several hundred times the memory and CPU usage to the point where you need 32 Gb of RAM to open two web pages.

It’s just as stupid as it was when it started.

Write imperative code.
