You've been writing code for years. Now an AI writes code in seconds. That feels threatening. But here's the truth: AI can't do what you do. It doesn't understand requirements. It doesn't know users. It doesn't make decisions. You do.
AI is not a men's topic. AI is a leadership topic. Those who don't act now will fall behind - not in technology, but in relevance. The good news: You don't need to be a techie. You need to lead. And you can.
AI-assisted software development works phenomenally, provided the context is right. The AGENTS.md is like an onboarding package for new employees or a Definition of Done for developers.
AI projects often fail due to ignoring "old refrigerators" (inefficient processes). Focus on simplicity, independence & addressing root causes instead of symptoms for sustainable AI success.
Full automation often fails due to complex reality & lack of contextual understanding. Better: partial automation + trust in people who decide & act situationally. Focus on freedom, not rigid processes.
AI sounds confident, but leads to cognitive laziness. Critical thinking is key, not "perfect" prompts. Use AI as a thought partner, not a guru. Cognitive humility is key.
