    I really don't know what to feel about AI generated code. It's clear that it improves velocity dramatically in code output. It has some value to it. But what is the cost?

    While I code without the help of AI, sometimes I feel like I am being left behind.

    Ohh you wrote only 400 lines today? I shipped a whole app while being in the gym... hits hard.

      I code because the software i need is not there yet and these tools still fail at doing those.

      Not sure why the next xy (already done) app has any economic value outside being a cheaper clone.

      Still there is nothing wrong with having an AI point out problems which i assume is the case here and someone still is responsible and knowledgeable about the patched (!) code.
