Josh Comeau on coding:

Let’s start with an uncomfortable truth: AI models have become shockingly good at completing a wide variety of programming tasks. They’re certainly not perfect, but in many cases, they’re good enough. I’m not happy about this, for a wide variety of ethical/environmental/safety reasons, but it is what it is.

AI is a tool, and tools need to be wielded proficiently. You could give me Jimi Hendrix’s exact guitar but it would sound very different if I tried to play it!
