Video Description:
Relying on AI to write your code is making you worse, not better. In this video, I react to a brutally honest blog post that calls out the growing dependency on AI tools in software development.
Weβre talking about why using AI for code generation can stunt your growth, atrophy your skills, and turn you into a glorified code reviewer. If youβre a junior dev, itβs even worse. This stuff can kill your chances of actually learning how to code.
What do you think - does AI make you better or is it just a shortcut to mediocrity?
