The case for worrying about AI-specific cognitive debt

kept by eddie mar 25

Agentic coding's cognitive debt may be worse than traditional coding if working at competence edges, weak mitigation adoption, and macro-level incoherence persist.

Why aren't we fine-tuning more?
Fine-tuning large language models has not become widespread because prompts, model quality, and tooling like Claude Code reduce its necessity.

Excessive reliance on AI coding tools creates comprehension debt—a growing gap between code volume and human understanding—that erodes system knowledge and eventually must be paid with interest.
