The First Cook
You remember the first time. Everyone does.
You typed a prompt. Something simple. Maybe a REST endpoint, a database migration, a React component you had been putting off. The AI generated it in seconds. Working code. Clean code. Code that would have taken you an hour, done in the time it takes to read a paragraph.
You felt something. Relief, and something past relief. A rush. The same feeling Walter White had in that RV in the New Mexico desert, watching the first batch crystallize. You just discovered a new capability. And you wanted more.
That was the first cook, and everything after that is escalation.
