AI can write code for us now. 🤖 But that makes programming fundamentals more important, not less. Generating code is becoming cheap. Knowing enough to question what AI gives you isn't. 👩🏾‍💻 675K+ learners later, I still believe in the basics:

I've been digging into engineering metrics in teams that use AI heavily. One weird finding: a PR with ~50 review comments looked risky until we opened it. Most of the comments came from AI. I think we're going to need AI-aware eng metrics, not just AI adoption metrics. 🔬

Local AI finally found its lane for me. 🤖 Aider + Ollama handles straightforward coding work where privacy matters: refactors, cleanup, repetitive changes. Not a replacement for stronger cloud models. Just another tier in my toolbox. 🛠️ #AIEngineering

This week I kept running into decisions where both sides were reasonable: consistency vs. latency, governance vs. speed, planning detail vs. flexibility. AI can help explore the options. Judgment is deciding which tradeoff to make. 🛠️ #SoftwareEngineering

I built a commitment matcher using stop words + token overlap instead of embeddings. 🔧 Deterministic, explainable, and fast enough for a CLI. A good reminder that not every fuzzy matching problem needs embeddings. Sometimes the boring algorithm is the right answer.
