Things I believe | Hunter Kleinschmidt

AI changes what a data team is for. The job is building the layer AI works on, not writing the answers.
For high-volume judgment work, AI is better than people. When a person makes the better call, the model was missing context. That’s an engineering gap, not an AI gap.
The model is the easy part. The guardrails are the job.
Code is cheap now. Judgment isn’t.
Analysts should learn to write the code, then stop writing it and own the validation layer.
A team’s knowledge shouldn’t belong to whoever has been around longest.
Measure complexity and impact, not ticket counts.
A team can recover from a wrong call. It struggles to recover from no call.
A handoff you can’t write down isn’t a handoff.
Give a team a year with these tools, and the ceiling is higher than most people think.
