Cognitive Expansion through LLMs with Diego Basch - AI Whisperers X Crecimiento

​Computer programming has always been constrained by human cognitive bandwidth. To cope, we’ve built an ever-growing tower of abstractions: from machine code to assembly, from high-level languages to APIs, protocols, and distributed systems. Now, with AI-assisted coding, we’ve added a new layer that lets us express intent in natural language and receive working software in return. It feels magical, until something breaks and we are stumped.

​Like every abstraction before it, this one leaks. When it does, we’re forced to descend into the layers below to fix what broke. In this talk, we’ll revisit Joel Spolsky’s Law of Leaky Abstractions and explore its renewed relevance in the age of AI. We’ll focus especially on newcomers to programming, who find themselves vibecoding their way into problems that require old-school debugging instincts. How do we help them recognize when the vibes have turned against them, and what to do next?
