I’ve got a few decent habits after so many years. They are external to AI coding but help me navigate that world, use the right words, ask the right questions, have certain suspicions. Might I develop similar, but very different, habitual patterns of action and thought if I learned to generate code solely within AI? Probably, but AI definitely puts an additional layer of abstraction between me and actually generating/learning code. If my goal is just to have the product, I think it’s mainly removing a layer of abstraction (at least in the short term and when it works). I think the AI path also encourages just spinning the wheel . . . kind of like randomly cut/pasting StackOverflow code in to solve problems but with infinite generation options. That feels like a kind of learned helplessness to me but I might be biased.
