   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.

      Many have come to the conclusion it is a tool. If you are doing proper due diligence, the AI writes while you are at the gym, but you spend a bit of time when you get back to make sure it does what it is supposed to. It is often still leagues more efficient this way, even accounting for errors. We all know coworkers that produce just as many if not more errors we have to fix anyway.
