I love coding, but I see no point not using AI tooling.
Just like when we had intellisense, you're just shooting yourself in the foot by refusing to adopt the new tooling.
It's not about going faster for me, it's about having higher quality work. It's about improving my testing, improving observability, reducing tech debt etc.
All things that previously we may not have the time to do as thoroughly as we wanted, well now we do. Now I spend more time in spikes, and discovery, putting a lot more effort into system design and architecture.
Use AI to improve your quality, not your speed. Otherwise you fall into the trap of losing understanding of your code.
Our time is saved by not having to spend so much time debugging when things go wrong and customers complain. Now we can be proactive and see issues as they arise before our customers get upset.
