I’m writing this in the early stages of AI.
This morning, I read a post on X.com from a man who wanted to put his entire codebase under review using AI.
Until recently, people wanted AI to do things they considered “doable,” but faster.
— “Oh, I can do this, but it would take time. AI can do it much faster.”
Another wave of usage came afterward. AI could do unimaginably complex things.
If I’m a layman in law, I could ask AI to review a contract for me. Such a review is too complex for me, regardless of the free time I might have to do it.
Back to the man who wanted to review his codebase.
His task wasn’t just to review his codebase quickly (speed), but to expand the analysis to the various libraries and extensions used by his codebase, meaning to look at other people’s code (complexity).
And all that “in a couple of hours.”
So we came to a point where Speed II Complexity is no more.
Speed && Complexity. This is the way.
