But we didn't have pressure to switch from C to Python & solved it down our throats by management, or social media telling us if you don't use Python you're getting left behind, did we?

In C vs. Python case, we know about technical trade-offs and when to use what, but in AI productivity neratives, we keep pretending that technical or cognitive debt created by AI doesn't exist.

Sure, person A can be 20% "faster" and suggest that this tool increases productivity by a magnitude, but if it costs person B 50% more time to review A's slop or clean up A's mess, the team's productivity doesn't really increase.
