Articles like this honestly confuse me. I really do not understand this sentiment that that some coders have where it feels like every line they write is like some finely chiseled piece of wood on a sculpture they made.
Since day one I've always liked to build things much like the author, my first line of HTML to CSS, frameworks, backend, frontend, devops, what have you. All of it a learning experience to see something created out of nothing. The issue has always been my fingers don't move fast enough; I'm just one person. My mind can't sustain extended output that long.
My experience with AI has been incredibly transforming. I can prototype new ideas and directions in literally minutes instead of writing or setting up boilerplate over and over. I can feed it garbage and have it give me ballpark insights. I can use it as a sounding board to draw some direction or try to see a diff angle I'm not seeing.
Or maybe it's just the way that some people use AI coding? Like it's some magic box and if you use it you wont' understand anything or it's going to produce some gibberish? Like a form bikeshedding where people hold the "way" they code as some kind of sacrosant belief. I still review near every line of code and if something is confusing I either figure it out and rewrite it or just comment on what it's doing if it's not critical.
