"Slow the f*ck down." - Oliver Reichenstein [1]

This only happens because the software industry has fallen into the Religion of Speed. I see it constantly: justified corner-cutting, rushing shit out the door, and always loading up another feature/project/whatever with absolutely zero self-awareness. AI is just an amplifier for bad behavior that was already causing chaos.

What's not being said here but should be: discipline matters. It's part of being a professional and always precedes someone who can ship code that "just works."
