I Work with AI. Every Day.
I work with AI. Copilot. Every day.
And I’m noticing something.
AI Doesn’t Just Change Tools
AI doesn’t just change tools.
It changes how we work.
And many people struggle with that.
The Pattern Across Teams
Over the past months, I’ve joined multiple service teams.
Developers.
Testers.
Cloud specialists.
Across teams and domains.
Technology Moves Fast. People Don’t.
The pattern is clear.
The technology moves fast.
People don’t.
Not because they can’t.
But because they’re unsure.
Resistance Is Human (and Understandable)
I see fear of losing control.
Fear of losing craftsmanship.
Questions about quality, security, ownership.
And sometimes just: “This is not how I learned to work.”
That resistance is human.
But ignoring it is risky.
AI Works Best When Thinking Moves Earlier
AI works best when thinking moves earlier.
Less typing.
More intent.
More clarity up front.
Why Spec-Driven Development Matters
That’s why I believe spec-driven development matters.
Clear intent first.
Requirements, rules, boundaries.
Then let Copilot help execute.
AI should not replace expertise.
It should amplify it.
Bring Teams Into the Change
If we want teams to move forward, we need to:
- Slow down the change for people, not for tech
- Create safe spaces to experiment
- Share small wins, not big promises
- Treat AI as a colleague, not a threat
My call to action is simple:
Don’t push AI into teams.
Bring teams into the change.
Because transformation only works when people move with it.
