The AI convo on @atpfm was missing a big part. People are losing their jobs to AI. Businesses are using it as an excuse to fire programmers and reduce staff.
Worse yet, AI is making us dumber. No one has to learn how languages work or API best practices when the BS machine does it all.
It happens to me every day. I’m required to use Cursor at work and I feel my critical thinking skills slipping away. I’m not retaining knowledge of the frameworks and APIs anymore.
