What is the Battleship project in AI development?

It's a disciplined workflow using AI (like Claude) with encoded standards and skills for consistent architecture — preflight thinking baked in.

Does AI make junior developers obsolete?

No — it narrows the implementation gap, but seniors' judgment pulls ahead further.

Frees time for upfront modeling, turning one expert into a high-output machine.
