Paige Bailey urges mid- and late-career engineers to build with AI

Paige Bailey, who works on Google's Gemini, says experienced engineers and managers should model curiosity and push their teams to build with AI rather than relying only on their accumulated expertise in system design and failure handling.

In a post on X, she says leaders who do not encourage experimentation and share what they learn are doing their teams a major disservice. She endorses Geoffrey Huntley's argument that teams too busy with their regular work to experiment with AI are preparing themselves to be replaced. This is Bailey's stated view; the post does not report any measured outcomes.
