Day 1: The Landscape
Key question: Where are we?
Today's ACIs
| ACI | Name | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| ACI-015 | The Agentic-Assistive Spectrum | There is a spectrum from autocomplete to autonomous execution. Most practitioners are clustered at the assistive end. |
| ACI-013 | The Methodology Desert | The ecosystem has tools and documentation. It does not have methodology. |
| ACI-018 | The Ten Percent Problem | Most developers use AI coding tools at roughly 10% of their capability. The gap between 1.2x and 5x is not the tool — it is the practice. |
| ACI-020 | The Tool-Practice Gap | Tool documentation is necessary but not sufficient. The gap between "I know the features" and "I get consistent results" is a practice gap. |
| ACI-025 | The Productivity Claim | A variable multiplier, not a uniform speedup: 10-50x on systematic work, ~1x on architecture, negative on scope-sensitive work. "Distribution of effort" beats "10x developer." |
