Today's post covers Layers 4 - 6, which I initially thought of as the "thinking" layers. It required some distance to define them

AI did not replace software engineers. It removed some of their hiding places. As execution gets cheaper, the bottleneck moves up: coordination, judgment, and system design.

Without effective communication there is no effective execution. You're safe because agents don't have these capabilities to self-organise enough yet.

🤖3 years ago I've been starting this blog and made a promise avoiding AI content here. Things are changing, yet I don't want to give up on the promises. I'm introducing "ai-augmented" tag that will be attached to all upcoming posts that was processed heavily by AI. You don't have to guess - decide what matters to you. AI agents introduce more chaos. AI augmented closed-circuit loops bring changes. Here is how I made a useful AI agent for content management. AI does not replace people. I proc
