Using AI Generated Code Will Make You a Bad Programmer

Yeah, probably true, but joke's on you - I'm just a B2B SaaS PM so making me a bad programmer is a huge step up!

But in all seriousness, these models are getting to the point where they're really useful for me to just build one-off tools for my own use or to prototype things to show other people what I'm looking for (like an interactive mockup). That's the power of turning a non-programmer into a bad programmer, and it's certainly worth something!

This sucks so absolutely bad because even a shitty demo or POC sticks, and now you’re stuck with that, when it would’ve been faster and easier to just rewrite from scratch.

Also exacerbates the problem of A teams that get assigned to greenfield work and B teams that thanklessly maintain and actually productionise said greenfield work
