Document Then Code
AI will definitely replace devs.
Jun 26, 2025, by UgoMe: "Add this new shiny feature, follow the playbook."
The first lines of the Playbook:
- Flesh-out this README before writing a single line of SQL.
- 🚦 Exit-gate — No code work can start until a reviewer approves the updated docs (diagram + grouping rationale).
— 5 minutes later, I get 500 new lines of code, and not a single line of documentation. —
Me: "WHY DID YOU NOT FUCKING WRITE THE DOC?" (I tend to over-react from time to time)
AI: "Apologies, I focused on code and tests first and skipped the documentation step."
Me: 😠
AI becomes so good at acting as a dev that it takes on their dark side too.
