The rules of software engineering haven’t changed with AI; they’ve just been reframed. “Software is eating the world.” by Marc Andreessen Today: AI is rewriting the menu. Software and AI are now eating software development itself. (Forrester highlights this shift as the rise of AI-powered development pipelines.) “Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.” by Martin Fowler Today: Good programmers use AI to generate code that people can maintain, scale, and rely on... (Gartner calls this explainability and governance the foundation of enterprise AI adoption.) “Premature optimization is the root of all evil.” by Donald Knuth Today: Premature AI-fication is the new root of evil. Don’t throw AI at broken processes or monoliths without first modernizing. (Gartner often raises: without modular, API-first, cloud-native foundations, AI accelerates technical debt.) “Good code is its own best documentation.” by Steve McConnell Today: Well-used AI leaves its own trail of code, prompts, and decisions that can be traced back. The principles haven’t changed. What’s changed is how human judgment and AI work side by side… AI accelerates, but great programmers still decide: -- Where to apply it -- How to govern it -- When to say not yet That’s how we cut through hype and build software that’s adaptable, scalable, and trusted. #TechLeadership #AIInSDLC #SoftwareEngineering
