AI tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, and Cursor are revolutionizing coding by providing instant solutions and boosting developers' productivity.
While AI tools can make developers feel supercharged, overreliance on AI may lead to challenges and real-world problems when issues arise.
Developers have shared instances where the illusion of competence created by AI can fail in high-pressure situations like production bugs, design reviews, or interviews.
To grow as a developer and handle high-stake situations effectively, it is essential to shift from passive reliance on AI suggestions to active learning and experimentation in coding.
