Cooking a Steak Is Easy. Making a Good One With AI Is Not.
Almost no skill required to cook a steak
AI-generated software is like steak from a cheap restaurant: technically edible, rarely great. We churn out agents, prompts, and workflows, hoping for a perfect medium-rare, but often get charcoal. The fix? Learn to cook—understand the fundamentals, judge the output, and stop relying on luck. AI can speed you up, but it can't replace your judgment.
It can’t define quality for you, can’t decide which tradeoffs are acceptable, can’t always catch the moment when something is technically correct but wrong in every way that matters.
