Strategic Friction are the intentional bottlenecks we design into our process specifically where risk lives:
- Architecture Guardrails: If AI can spin up a microservice in minutes, we need senior-led standards that ensure it doesn’t become a distributed nightmare.
- Deep-Dive Peer Reviews: Shifting the focus from “Does this look right?” to “How does this break the system?”
- Automated Risk Gates: Designing smarter CI/CD checks that trigger deeper scrutiny when AI-generated boilerplate touches critical paths like security or payments.
