The AI world is full of old infrastructure with stochastic organs.
That sentence probably explains better than anything why I feel slow lately. Not because I stopped caring about AI. Not because I cannot build anymore. Not because the tools moved beyond me. If anything, the tools moved in the opposite direction: they make me faster at generating code, faster at prototyping, faster at touching layers I would normally approach one by one.
And still, inside the work, I feel slower.
This is the uncomfortable part. AI gives me the sensation that everything should move faster, but the more I use it seriously, the more I end up spending time in the parts that do not accelerate cleanly. The code appears quickly. The draft appears quickly. The workflow appears quickly. But then I need to understand what it actually does. I need to test the boundary between components. I need to verify that the result is not just plausible, but correct enough to survive contact with reality.
Maybe this is the first real trap of AI development:
