## AI overview

This article examines how AI-assisted software engineering can increase coding throughput while reducing an engineer's visibility into planning, implementation, testing, deployment, and review. It argues that engineers must maintain technical judgment by defining goals and architectural constraints while also understanding and optimizing the processes used by AI agents.
