Elevate Your Coding Standards: Embrace Elegance Over Boilerplate
AI is revolutionizing tech, but it also risks lowering our standards for code quality. As developers, we must resist the urge to embrace ugly, boilerplate code generated by AI. Here’s why:
- Code Ownership: Handing off coding tasks to AI dilutes the developer’s connection to their work, which can lead to mediocrity.
- Learning Opportunity: Engaging with complex problems fosters growth and understanding—AI does not learn like we do.
- Aesthetic Responsibility: Writing elegant code simplifies future collaborations and enhances software maintainability.
We should strive for simplicity and beauty, creating software that reflects pride and craftsmanship. Remember, “how you do anything is how you do everything.”
