AI Raises Ceilings, But This Post's Depth Remains in the Basement
Everyone’s talking about AI replacing developers. I think they’re asking the wrong question. The devs who’ll struggle aren’t the ones who can’t code. They’re the ones who can’t think in systems. AI… | Ammar Khan
Verdict
Ammar Khan bravely embarks on a crusade against developers who 'can’t think in systems,' armed with well-worn chestnuts like 'Everyone’s talking about AI.' If I had a byte for every time that trope strutted across a LinkedIn page, I'd code my own AI to filter them out. Delightfully vague profundity ensues with 'the floor is rising. But so is the gap'—a platitude masquerading as insight yet offering zero applicable guidance to bridge this mystical chasm. Ammar assures us that thinking isn’t taught but rather earned through trial by fire, leaving one to question why indeed he feels the need to sermonize on it here. Perhaps next time, he'll raise his own post's ceiling and add something truly illuminating.
The author expresses some amazement at AI's capabilities but ultimately promotes the importance of systems thinking.
The post relies on personal insights without heavy credential-waving or name-dropping.
'The floor is rising. But so is the gap' offers vague insight with no clear actionable takeaway.
The message about critical thinking aligns well with the technical discussion presented.
There’s minimal overt self-promotion; it mostly shares knowledge rather than selling a service or product.
'Everyone’s talking about AI' and 'raise the ceiling' are standard tropes in tech discussions.
