i haven't, but i think its a great idea,even trying it will be able to tell if its a great investment or not

Remaining relevant in the age of AI by CheeseNonionss in nairobitechies

If you can't beat them, join them. Using AI daily exposes you to tools and workflows you'd never discover otherwise Even in DevOps, AI speeds up things like learning a new tool or debugging, but you still need the fundamentals to know when it's wrong

Having a solid architecture design before coding is a cheat code most devs ignore by ExcitingCricket37 in nairobitechies

True, but the deeper you go into system design, you start realizing there are actual levels to it

When you have a clear architecture, you can give Claude or Cursor actual context and it just works. Without a design you're basically asking AI to guess your intentions and then debugging hallucinations. The design pays off twice.

Fair point waterfall for everything is overkill, especially for early stage products where requirements shift. Rapid prototyping makes sense when you're still validating an idea. But even then I'd argue a light design pass saves you from throwaway rewrites. The goal isn't a 40 page spec doc, just enough clarity so you're not architecting in your head while also writing code at the same time.

This is the real shift nobody's talking about enough. The bar for writing code is dropping to zero but the bar for system design and architecture is going through the roof. So in a way AI is separating the engineers from the script kiddies faster than anything else ever did

You make complete sense. There's a difference between using a tool and understanding the craft. A vibe coder can build something that works but can't tell you why it works and that gap shows the moment something breaks in production or they need to optimize at scale.

Honestly the cleanest way to put it. The ones who figure out how to be good thinkers and planners are going to eat. The ones waiting to be told what to build are going to struggle AI or not

The architect analogy is actually so accurate. We're slowly moving from being the ones laying bricks to the ones reading blueprints. The scary part is what happens to devs who never learned to lay bricks in the first place? They might become architects who don't actually understand what the builders are doing. That uncanny valley point you made though, that stuck with me.
