Reading through some of the recent posts or conversations, I ask myself, "Is human reasoning long dead?"
We heard people screaming:
- Agile is dead
- MVP is dead
- Monolith is dead
We are hearing people already scream:
- Programming is dead
We will soon hear people screaming:
- GenAI is dead (we already hear people screaming RAG is dead after all..)
The next time you hear it, ask them "Tell me, how exactly did you kill it?". It might surprise them, but you will get hints on how they killed it like below:
- No we didn't kill Agile(first the defense mechanism kicks it, before blurting out the confession), we followed SAFe.
- No we didn't kill MVP, we followed MLP, or such things.
- No we didn't kill Monolith, we adopted Microservices architecture to skip doing meaningless work like TDD, etc.
- No we didn't kill Programming, we adopted VibeCoding that generates code and artefacts faster and more than our developers
- No we didn't kill RAG, we adopted the new shiny tool that is even better
- No we didn't kill GenAI, we adopted it and deployed it in the latest hardware spec.
I am not kidding here. I am hearing a variety of ways in which people gruesomely murder good/great things. Here are a few from my recent conversations:
- We are investing our time, effort and $$$ to replace BRE with AgenticAI. -- Voice of a CEO
- What is the recent GPU hardware that you are aware of and have used? We use the greatest of GPU hardware in GCP for our AI Agents. -- Voice of Senior Architect
- We have moved away from RAG, by adopting this shiny new tool. -- Voice of AI Leader
- We have downsized a good chunk of our developer team by investing in latest GenAI tools that produces lot of artefacts than our developers. -- Voice of Tech Leaders
- This company fired so many ppl, because of AI. -- Voice of Social Media Influencers and Media houses (that has no clue about the company or the technology but are spitting things out as click baits, that more and more gullible would fall into)
So, I now ask you, "Is human reasoning long dead?"
On a serious note, I would nudge you to not fall prey for overwhelming noise but focus on hands-on approach and reasoning on how something can affect the way you do things better to make your life more productive and effective.
