   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.

      As is with any engineering… a key skill is knowing which tool to use when and for what.

      There will always be people who push the extreme limits of either way. “I will not use AI for anything!” Vs “I will vibe code this while I’m at the gym”.

      The winner is the one that knows when and how to use AI as a _tool_ and focus on the better outcome.
