1/ AI is helping teams write code faster.
⚠️ But that might become dangerous, because not all aspects of software engineering accelerate at the same rate.
4/ That uneven acceleration is where the trap begins.
The code may be ready in minutes, but someone still has to ask:
Should this exist?
Can we maintain it?
Can we explain it later?
5/ The uncomfortable question is not:
“Can AI write software?”
It can.
The uncomfortable question is:
“What happens when we generate software faster than we can understand it?”

We are surrounded by numbers that shape decisions and headlines 🌍 GDP, national debt, energy consumption, astronomical distances. Yet once numbers get big enough, intuition breaks.
I wrote about the idea behind it and why visual intuition might matter more than we assume:

Try the experiment yourself 🎮

Curious which comparison will break your intuition first. Tell me 👇
Thinking like an engineer helps you reason about these effects without blaming people for problems created by the system 🧠⚙️
I explore these ideas in more depth in my latest article: jdonado.com/post/2026-01-21-…
