Stop Thinking of AI as a Coworker. It’s an Exoskeleton.

AI should be viewed as an exoskeleton that enhances human capabilities, rather than as an autonomous agent. Companies that use AI to amplify human work achieve better results than those that expect autonomy. Exoskeleton examples demonstrate significant benefits across manufacturing, the military, and healthcare by reducing injuries and improving efficiency. In product development, AI tools like Kasava provide depth of analysis while keeping human judgment central. The future of AI lies in systems that integrate closely with human workflows, amplifying productivity rather than operating independently.

Things I’ve Learned in My 10 Years as an Engineering Manager

TLDR: Jampa Uchoa shares insights from 10 years as an engineering manager, emphasizing that roles vary per team needs, everyone should care about the product, processes must be questioned, and trust in teams is crucial. Successful management requires transparency, communication strategies, and a focus on empowering teams to thrive independently. Managers should navigate between being a player, coach, and cheerleader, while ensuring that none are bottlenecks. Each team must adapt processes to maintain efficiency, with a focus on the outcomes rather than the processes themselves.
