I'm a fan of AI, I know that's unpopular here but I think it's a cool tool.
But you need to know what you are doing and how to program. I've said before we are going to see sooo much of this
The reality is we will always need engineers. Certainly not ready yet, but we probably won't always need "programmers" - which is a shame because I do get a kick out of solving a really complex problem in a super elegant way
AI is a tool like any other. I wouldn't turn on a power tool, set it down in a construction site, and expect everything to be done the next day.
Copilot saves a lot of time and mental load. I'd never let it vibe code, though. Suggesting is all it gets to do.
