Why Slowing Down Could Be the Right Strategy Amid Rapid AI Change

New
Summary
The same Pragmatic Engineer piece makes the case that deliberately slowing down is a sensible strategic response to how fast engineering is changing — a counterintuitive argument worth examining when pressure to ship AI-generated work fast is high.
Why this signal
Directly relevant to Neo's #5 focus area: the risk that fast AI output without human review embeds wrong assumptions. The 'slow down to speed up' framing could be a useful counterweight to team pressure to ship AI-generated code quickly.
