  1. “To sum up: There is some level of essential acceleration. However, this perceived ever-increasing speed in IT that exhausts us increasingly is something we created and fuel ourselves. This is what I mean by:

    We are our own worst enemies.

    We are the ones who make our lives worse by reflexively running faster and faster, in directions that others set.”

  2. „What struck me most is the emphasis on what grows quietly:

    Not the visible complexity in the code.

    But the erosion of understanding.

    The fading of intent.

    The slow drift between what we think a system is and what it has become.“

    Margaret-Anne Storey about Russ Miles‘ „The Debts That Grow in Silence“

  4. Yesterday I had a bit of an epiphany:

    With refactoring we had - for quite an extended time - a tool at our hands with which we were able to regain our mental models of our code.

    We too seldomly used it consequently.

    With AI we now have a tool at our hands with which we are able to fully automatically get rid of our mental model.

    Quite likely we will use it too often… especially when our time will be running out in any given project.
