In an era of the "Infinite Software Crisis" where AI-generated code outpaces human understanding, this talk argues for choosing "simple" design over "easy" generation. The speaker presents a three-phase methodology—Research, Planning, and Implementation—that forces developers to think critically before generating code. This approach leverages AI for mechanical tasks while ensuring that human judgment, context, and a deep understanding of the system remain the core of the software development process, turning human insight into the ultimate competitive advantage.
