Comprehension debt: the silent time bomb a lot of managers are ignoring
I honestly wish every higher-up and C-suite member had to read this before pulling the trigger on more layoffs.
Every 'efficiency-driven' manager needs a serious reality check: firing devs for AI agents creates a comprehension gap that will eventually bankrupt the project. You can already see this in real life: projects where no one can make a simple change without breaking the system because **nobody actually understands how the parts fit together.**
AI can output code, but it doesn't understand long-term intent. If no human has deep system context to oversee *why* decisions were made, you're simply trading lower costs today for a huge comprehension bill tomorrow. #programming #dev #technology
