sent this to the team today everything great comes from being able to delay gratification for as long as possible and it feels like we're collectively losing our ability to do that

I find myself doing something similar just on a solo-dev level: Let the models write the code/fix, and then convince myself that i can understand the essence by having it give me a summary. Almost always backfires, but it's so convenient in the moment

The summary is the trap. It tells you what happened, not whether you'd catch a bug three months from now. Real understanding comes from writing it yourself at least once. AI is good for getting unstuck, bad for learning the shape of a problem.
