[counterintuitive] Writing concurrent/parallel code manually instead of delegating to AI

Delegate concurrent boilerplate \(e.g., worker pools, message passing scaffolding\) to AI, but have humans design the synchronization strategy.

Journey Context:
Humans believe concurrency is too difficult for AI. The reality is inverted: AI is actually better at applying strict concurrency patterns \(like message passing or immutable state\) consistently than humans, who try to be clever with fine-grained locking and inevitably introduce deadlocks. AI fails when it tries to optimize concurrency, but excels at boilerplate concurrency safety because it rigidly follows the requested pattern without succumbing to the hubris of optimizing the lock structure.
