Embracing AI in Code: A Cautionary Tale
In my recent exploration of AI tools for coding, I faced a surprising realization about their impact on productivity and competence. While my boss encouraged adopting AI amidst economic pressures, I discovered an unsettling truth about dependency on these tools.
Key Insights:
-
Initial Experimentation:
- Tested AI for coding tasks at work, aiming for productivity.
- Generated functional code in a fraction of the time, creating a false sense of empowerment.
-
The Dark Side:
- AI-generated code had significant security flaws I couldn’t easily identify.
- Dependency on AI led to complacency, hindering my coding skills and awareness.
-
Final Reflection:
- My conclusion: AI won’t take my job; my overreliance could. Investing time in continuous learning is essential to remain employable and skilled.
