   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.

      Please don’t do this if your livelihood depends on it. You’re just going to make your life more painful.

      As a professional programmer, you’re selling a service. The people buying your service have fully bought into AIs and accepted their shortcomings. You can’t fight this.

      You can still scratch your itch with hobby apps, or contributing to human-first projects like Zig.
