Every time I have a moderate engagement post about AI coding or AI coding workflows I'm learning, I always get a few haters who reply roughly, “You wouldn’t be having these problems if you just learned to code/AI is not the problem”

First of all: duh.

Second of all: I’m not out here trying to win a good old fashioned code-off. 
 
The only person I’m comparing myself to is… myself. And me with AI is 100x more productive and knowledgeable programming than me without AI.

AI coding has overnight unlocked not just the simple projects in my head, but the complex, ambitious ones too.

And I know I’m not alone in this. 

Thirdly: I think it is clearly obvious that AI coding is becoming its own kind of skill. There will be people who are good at coding with AI and people who are bad at it. 

The good ones are 1) constantly figuring out how to get the best and most consistent output from AI, 2) building systems to effortlessly harness that knowledge, and 3) using those systems to create increasingly more complex software, faster.

I have had the absolute time of my life diving more into AI Coding. I’ve never wanted to spend more time coding and working on my side projects. Maybe I'd be a better programmer if I focused more on learning specific advanced concepts I know I'm deficient in, but I genuinely just do not care. 

I'll learn those concepts when I run into problems that require knowledge of them to repeatedly  solve.

Some people must live just miserable lives that they get some little giggle from shitting on passionate people who love to learn.
