One phrase stuck with me from this: "they'll start to absorb lessons that it took their colleagues decades to learn."

I think the point of failure now will hinge on the willingness of teams to admit what they don't know. The ones that don't won't be saved by Claude.

What’s changed now, with AI, is that you can have compressed learning cycles. Folks can build, deploy, and learn faster now than ever before.

Admitting when you don’t know something has always been important; but the ability to build, deploy, and find out has never been greater.

Instead of theorizing about what might work, you can just build it and find out.

Certainly build and deploy faster. You aren't going to learn faster though.

Just like reading math without doing problems doesn't enable to you pass your exam, reading code without writing any of it doesn't allow you to learn at all.

Fail faster yes. Learn faster no. The research out there shows that having the AI doing the work stops the learning process.

I use the GenAI tools all the time and I'll be the first to admit that cognitive debt is a real thing

> absorb lessons

That maybe correct for some lessons. Many lessons you have to learn the hard way to really absorb them.
