We’re living in a strange moment in tech.
As a software engineer, I feel caught between two worlds:

The grounded, methodical practices of the "old guard"
And the industry’s headlong rush into an AI-powered future that often feels like it’s chasing an imaginary Neverland.
There’s a growing disconnect between the pace of AI adoption and the depth of understanding behind it.
Do the ones promoting the tech truly grasp what they’re asking for when they say “use AI”?
Are we prepared to change how we work—or are we just layering AI on top of old workflows and calling it innovation?
AI can accelerate development, sure.
