A practical blueprint for Java developers to use AI effectively in complex systems—reducing rework, improving clarity, and keeping behavior predictable.
Hey, great read as always. Your point about AI speeding up everything except discernment really resonated with me. How do we even begin to teach that 'discernment' to future enginers?
Excellent framework for AI in legacy Java. The "dumb zone" concept is spot on, AI agents drowning in too much context produce garbage. In my experince, the Research-Plan-Implement split is the only way to prevent regressions when theres hidden coupling everywhere. The point about plans forcing alignmnet before code exists is underrated, most teams skip straight to implementation and wonder why things break three layers deep.

That’ll be all our jobs I think.
