    That’s a nice strawman you built there, but it’s wrong. The issue is not that “every dev needs to be a senior dev to use AI” nor is it “code is binary: right or wrong” (🥁). The whole point of this article is that new developers are entering the industry but they’re not building the skills that would eventually forge them into senior devs. They’re relying on generative AI for the foundational work, even when assigned a learning exercise by a senior dev, without understanding the “why” behind the output of the LLM they used.

      The articles point is correct that’s not what I am saying, it’s what you guys spiral into LOL. „Let’s not use AI cuz it can be wrong sometimes“ „I’d rather have no AI than ‚wrong code‘“ just yesterday (as if it was called for) a YouTuber put out a piece that is making fun of you for that very reason.

        So you’re just going to repeat your strawman bullshit as though that makes it what I said?

        le kek the article is right but you and everyone agreeing with it are wrong

        Juniors using AI means they don’t develop the necessary skills to become seniors. Seniors using AI find their critical thinking and problem solving skills negatively impacted (https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4698/15/1/6).

        I understand that empirical evidence isn’t really your bag and you’d prefer to bloviate at randoms on the internet to feel superior without having to work for it rather than learn to communicate or bother to understand anything you read, so now that I’ve reiterated my point - which is that the article is correct - twice for you, I’m going to block you so you can re-read what I wrote in the first fucking place and reconsider being such a twat.

          Aaaaah yes mental offloading with AI and AI use in general are the same. That’s why a junior should never use AI at all - not for prototyping, not as legacy code - cuz he will be never becoming a real senior that way. Omg you guys just keep on giving
