The new generation of self-proclaimed developers rely heavily on AI tools like Cursor, Copilot, and ChatGPT for coding, rather than developing true computer science skills.
AI is being used as a crutch rather than a power tool, as these developers struggle with basic tasks like debugging without external assistance.
The emphasis is on learning how to structure and plan code, solving actual problems, rather than just relying on AI to assemble code snippets.
Ultimately, the decision lies in whether these developers will choose to depend solely on AI or build their coding skills to succeed when faced with real challenges.
