The West forgot how to build things, and may forget how to write code

转译：西方忘了怎么造东西，现在也快忘了怎么写代码

Denis Stetskov compares Western defense production gaps with AI coding, citing Stinger orders placed in 2022 for 2026 delivery. He says Europe’s 1M-shell target was 9 months late, and METR found senior developers 19% slower with AI. The key risk is the junior-engineer pipeline, not code generation speed.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the analogy is clickable, the post gives concrete defense and METR numbers, and the junior-engineer pipeline resonates. X translation/commentary limits authority, so it sits just above the featured threshold.
