Interesting take and I don't want to dismiss your experience but it's not mine.
15+ years writing code and refining it, learning. Is AI code as good? Definitely not. Is it 80-90% or the way there with correct linting, agent setup and rules? Absolutely.
Totally with you, it does feel fragile. Something hard to come to terms with for me is how much we actually care about the way something has been done itself
if there are three equally good ways of solving a problem, it seems like reading every line stops feeling like a good use of time (and maybe even kills the speed gains of ai assistance)
Very relatable. I've definitely found myself spending more time in discussions recently too. I kind of take the AI comment as a compliment to be honest. Its a shame the message can get dismissed so quickly because of it but I understand why people are suspicious now
I think it's a fair point, now code gen is much quicker, keeping commits slim is a challenge in itself. Agree the big repo platforms don't really do any favours in that department

It's quality vs speed vs cost adage
