Nobody Knows How To Build With AI Yet

The Great Experiment Nobody’s Running the Same Way

There’s this moment in every new technology where everyone pretends they know what they’re doing. We’re past that moment. Or maybe we haven’t reached it yet. Either way, we’re in this delicious middle ground where nobody can pretend expertise because the whole thing keeps changing under our feet.

I’ve been thinking about expertise lately. How long does it take to become an expert? Malcolm Gladwell said 10,000 hours, but he was talking about violins and chess. Skills where the rules don’t update every two weeks. Where your muscle memory doesn’t become obsolete overnight.

If the most experienced AI pair programmer in the world has been doing this for at most two years then we’re all beginners. Forever beginners, probably, the way things are accelerating.
