Guides, comparisons, and research on Engineering Intelligence and AI-assisted software engineering.
People use AI to learn. Software engineering is where that breaks.
Google's ATLAS report shows people reach for AI to understand things, at a rate that outstrips almost everything else. Coding is the exception — and the cost is knowledge debt.
What is AI comprehension? Understanding the code AI writes for you
AI comprehension is how well an engineer understands AI-generated code — the reasoning, trade-offs, and failure modes behind it, not just that it passes.
Knowledge Debt vs Technical Debt: What's the Difference?
Technical debt is code that's costly to change. Knowledge debt is code no one fully understands. Here's how they differ — and why AI widens the gap.
Engineering Intelligence: measuring what your team actually understands
Engineering Intelligence is the practice of measuring and growing what engineers genuinely understand about the code they ship — not just how fast they ship it.
How to actually learn from AI-generated code
A practical guide to understanding the code AI writes for you — five habits that turn AI-assisted shipping into lasting engineering knowledge.
