What Addy Osmani actually said

  1. Addy Osmani Engineering leader and author who spent 14 years at Google
    the first is cognitive debt. So the more that you use AI, it's it's sort of the erosion of your ability to have good memory and have good understanding of the problems that you're working on. And the natural follow-up to that is cognitive surrender, which is where you, you know, you blindly give in to whatever the AI says as your answer.
