Ironically, AI tools can make you slower if you rely on them for complex tasks without understanding the internals. You end up spending more time prompting, debugging, or reverse-engineering the generated code than if you just wrote it yourself. This tradeoff is especially noticeable in open source work, where maintainability and correctness trump speed. AI tooling still requires substantial human judgment.
