I was writing an email in Gmail to a Croatian office, in Croatian, and I was confused why the Gmail AI assistance would think I am writing in Polish. So I clicked on it and wanted to change to Croatian, but instead it started changing my text. I was very confused.
Only a few days later I realized that "Polish" didn't mean the language.

Quality has already been sacrificed in the name of velocity. Next on the chopping block: alignment. Talking to others about what needs building is now being framed as unnecessary friction. Automating (skipping) this step with AI leads to teams disintegrating into individuals, tackling problems based on saliency rather than the value of solving them.
The only way to restore coherence in products is to invest in design, not AI.

The crisis of software development comes from two contradictory rules:
- Up-front thinking is Waterfall; we must only learn by shipping
- There's no time for rework, so everything needs to be done right the first time
Bosses thought #AI could break this contradiction. But synthetic insights and vibe code don't actually enable faster discovery & delivery. They are a (poor) alternative to doing these things AT ALL.
