AI is like a power tool. If you give a contractor a nail gun instead of a hammer he can build a house faster. If you give someone who has no idea how to build a house a nail gun they’ll just fail at building a house faster than if you only gave them a hammer and they’ll probably hurt themselves.

Problem being that the majority of software engineers really don’t know how to build software well. And are using AI as a tool to just accelerate their lack of engineering.

Also lowkey the nailgun isn’t even that much faster, it’s more about saving wear on the workers’ elbows. Source: used to work in construction. Never point a nailgun at anyone except your supervisor.
