Are We Becoming Watch Developers? The Hidden Cost of AI-Assisted Coding
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
A few years ago, software development was about solving problems. We designed systems, debated architecture, wrote code, tested assumptions, and learnt from failures. Every bug taught us something. Every feature improved our understanding. Today, the workflow is changing rapidly. Many developers now spend more time writing prompts than writing code. Instead of building a solution line by line, we ask an AI to generate it, wait for the response, run it, fix a few errors, adjust the prompt, and…
