Every dev I know is shipping faster than ever. Nobody wants to talk about what the codebase looks like six weeks later.
We're in the golden age of AI-assisted development. You can go from idea to working feature in hours instead of days. Payment integrations, auth flows, CRUD scaffolding — LLMs eat that stuff for breakfast. But I keep noticing the same pattern. The fast part stays fast. The hard part gets harder.
The Speed Is Real
I'm not here to be a hater. AI-generated code has genuinely changed how quickly you can move through the boring stuff.
No more boilerplate code required and developers no longer have to write repetitive glue code. The payment integration that previously required a week to read the documentation? Developers are now saying they can deliver that in a tiny fraction of the time.
