i recently joined a new company. using ai coding assistants has allowed me to onboard faster because i can take a new ticket and ask the agent to help orient me in the codebase about where to start looking. BUT the downside is that i'm much slower at building a cohesive mental model of the codebase. this has two problems: - it encourages continued dependence on the ai tools because its hard to fall back on my own knowledge - imposter syndrome is magnified 100x
