Junior engineers are increasingly relying on AI tools to write code, but this may hinder their learning process and understanding of programming concepts.
Using AI as a crutch to generate code without truly comprehending it can lead to confusion and challenges when debugging or improving code.
Programming is not just about writing code but also understanding systems, debugging, and iterating, skills that can be skipped if relying too heavily on AI for code generation.
While AI can be a valuable tool for optimization and support, it should not replace the process of learning and actively engaging in writing code to fully grasp concepts.
