You feel less embarrassed about mistakes, get help instantly, and can work whenever you want. + +**Consequences:** less pairing, which means less learning, decreased code quality, fewer shared decisions, and weaker collective ownership. + +**Symptoms:** hermit behavior, fewer discussions, hidden assumptions in the work, loneliness. + +## Example +This has always been an issue, but AI makes it easier to work alone, so we'll see more of it. It runs against the principles of agile software development, which are about people, feedback, and learning. + +## Solution +Bring AI output back to the team. Read code together.
