Most developers think productivity comes from writing more code.
It doesn’t.
This week reminded me of two things:
- AI can write code fast… but you still need to think
- Your app can be “working”… but still inefficient without caching
Here’s the real insight:
Speed without control is chaos.
AI will generate code in seconds but if you don’t review it properly, you’re just shipping bugs faster.
Your app will respond but if you’re not caching intelligently, you’re just scaling problems.
At some point, you realize:
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about doing things intentionally.
That’s the difference between:
A developer who builds features
vs
A developer who builds systems.
Happy Friday ✌️
