As we continue developing our software, we accumulate a growing amount of technical debt just to keep the system running. But I believe we are on the brink of an even larger issue. Cognitive debt.

Hope you enjoy this reading, all feedback is welcome.

But in the days of old, the replacement of human, or generation of domain/tribal knowledge were in the range of human capability to learn the new parts of a system.

With the LLM of today this scale is far flipped on the wrong side, and no product fully LLM will be manageable in a few years.
