Stop Writing Code, Start Writing Docs

Google Cloud's Keith Ballinger argues that developers should shift from one-shot AI coding prompts to treating AI agents like coworkers by writing clear guides, documentation, and project plans. He believes this "slow down to speed up" approach provides AI models with better context and intent understanding. Ballinger envisions a future where developers focus on system design and architecture rather than writing individual lines of code, representing the next abstraction layer in programming evolution.
