Engineering Culture

I spent 20 years building the tools that were supposed to save us. Instead, I think I helped build a circus. This is the confession part.

Jeff Goldblum delivered that line in 1993 as sci-fi cautionary tale. Thirty years later it's a product roadmap — and your company isn't just running the park anymore. They're replacing the park rangers. And the engineers reviewing AI PRs aren't overseers. They're the training data.

We're living inside a sci-fi parody that can't decide which genre it is. Robots, AI takeover, authoritarian drift, alien disclosure, and the end of expertise. It would be funny. It's not.
