"AI can one-shot a dashboard in seconds. The result looks polished, modern, familiar. It also answers nothing. The problem isn't the model. It's that we never had a design language worth translating."

OP-ED
BY RIAGENIC.DEVBurning the Roots
"Apprenticeship is how software used to survive. Not scale. Survive. AI now sits where the senior used to sit. It answers instantly, patches over confusion, fills the gaps before the junior even knows there was a gap. We are short circuiting the only path that ever produced judgment."
BY RIAGENIC.DEVThe Best Demo You Should Never Ship
"OpenClaw is the best example we have of vibe coding working and why you should never ship vibe code at the same time. Nothing breaks decisively. It just degrades until reliance turns into regret."
BY RIAGENIC.DEVCode You Cannot Explain Is Tomorrow's Debt
"I do not let my son outsource thinking to a machine. He uses Claude Code to write C++ in Unreal Engine. That part is fine. What changed is how often the model started driving instead of assisting. So we put a PR process in place."
BY RIAGENIC.DEVThe Filter Is Broken
"My son writes C++ that leaves me stunned. He still gets screened out by people who can barely parse their own script. The industry lost the ability to measure raw talent and replaced it with buzzword bingo."
