AI lets you move at 240 km/h

AI lets you move at 240 km/h. That’s both a gift and a trap.

I’ve been going deep with AI lately, and one thing is already clear:
The speed is intoxicating.

It’s incredibly tempting to keep pushing, after it’s “just one more prompt,” just one more capability, just one more abstraction - because now you can.

Most product failures in the AI era won’t come from lack of speed. They’ll come from ignoring the speed limits, and rushing to the finish line only to realize:

The system is fragile, the product is incoherent, and the team can’t reason about what was built and why.

The real challenge now isn’t acceleration, but the exact opposite - it’s restraint.

It’s knowing when to brake, when to coast, and when not to rev the engine.

In an AI-driven world, I suppose the motto really is:

“Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”
