#258 - Should You Use AI While Learning to Code? A Senior Developer’s Take
Description
A junior developer who got hired at a startup used AI non-stop to keep up.
It worked for weeks until he crashed and burned.
He'd built a house of cards that he couldn't keep up. The AI tools went in doom loops or just added more sloppy code that his team wouldn't accept.
Turns out they hired a prompt engineer instead of a coder.
We're in uncharted territory my friends.
You can't just NOT use AI but when should you start? How much is too much?
Let's explore a path to learning code with AI that won't make you another prompt engineer.
