AI in software development is a powerful assistant, not a replacement.
AI helps developers with tasks like generating boilerplate code, drafting unit tests, suggesting regex patterns, and automating repetitive tasks.
However, AI does not understand the why behind a feature, make product trade-offs, debug complex issues in a legacy codebase, or architect scalable systems.
AI enhances workflow, speeds up idea validation, but the quality of work still depends on the developer's skills, critical thinking, and ability to reason.
