Cloud & AI thinking

The conversation around AI coding tools is shifting. For the past few years, the industry has been dominated by inline autocompleters and chat extensions that excel at writing boilerplate code but struggle with systemic, architectural awareness.

Imagine walking into a car dealership looking for a reliable commuter vehicle, and the salesperson convinces you that you absolutely *must* buy a Formula 1 race car. It’s wildly expensive to buy, costs a fortune to maintain, and you’re only using it to drive three miles down the road to get groceries. Right now, a lot of enterprises are doing the exact same thing with AI.
