Using AI in the Software Development Lifecycle (Without Slowing Shipping)
Where AI helps in the SDLC—and where it doesn’t. How to adopt AI coding tools and automation without slowing down delivery.
The Paradox of AI-Acceleration: Why We Are Typing Faster but Shipping Slower
AI lets us generate more code—but cycle times aren't dropping. Why velocity without tests, review, and observability just adds mass and risk.
Don't ask AI to build the house. Ask it to build the scaffolding.
The real value of AI in development isn't production code—it's support code: tooling, tests, and scaffolding that gets you to the hard part faster.
