🧠 Engineers fear losing skills, not AI
Andy Kelk describes the psychological barrier to AI adoption: experienced developers are not afraid of being fired, but of turning into "juniors" who do not understand the logic of the generated code. This creates a risk of accumulating "cognitive debt"—a gap between system complexity and human understanding of its architecture.
🌍 AI accelerates code generation, but it does not accelerate human understanding. This creates a risk of losing control over system logic.
👤 Your value as a senior engineer now lies not in the speed of writing code, but in the ability to act as an architect and a critical reviewer.
