Read Original

The author, a software developer, details their personal technical experience with generative AI coding tools and agents, arguing they do not increase productivity. The core issue is the necessity to thoroughly review and understand any AI-generated code before using it, a process that takes as much or more time than writing the code themselves. They emphasize the professional and legal responsibility a developer holds for their code, making blind reliance on AI-generated output an unacceptable risk.
