StudioTerk Terkowitz: If AI tooling doesn't benefit your work, that is a finding, not a failing
Original title: Quoting Terk Terkowitz
Simon Willison quotes Amazon engineering leadership's Terk Terkowitz: if your work does not benefit from current AI tooling, that is a finding, not a failing. Document why, share with peers and your manager, and work toward solutions; an engineer who can explain where AI does not yet help is demonstrating the judgement being asked for.
Why it matters
The quote offers Amazon engineering leadership's framing for when AI does and doesn't help developers, a useful reference for team policy discussions.
