The AI Coding Crisis Series

AI coding tools are increasing output while hiding codebase drift, review overload, and lost mentorship. Bruce Tate argues teams should reinvest the time AI gives them in training and craft.

Bruce Tate traces how AI coding tools moved from helpful completion to unchecked delegation, leaving teams with faster output, weaker design, and less room for judgment to grow.

Bruce Tate argues the AI coding crisis is not a junior talent problem but a training failure, and outlines the concrete skills teams need to teach explicitly now.

Bruce Tate argues that code is no longer the core asset – judgment is. The organizations that win will protect senior craft, measure mentorship, and reinvest AI's dividend in training juniors into future seniors.
