This is one of the best tags I keep visiting again and again !

Plenty of great takes on this tag. The AI coding assistants discussion comes up a lot, and I think the honest take is that AI is a tool not a replacement for judgment.

The thing I keep coming back to: every time I read an AI is making developers worse take, I wonder if the author has actually tried using AI to solve a genuinely hard problem. These tools are good at the mechanical stuff. The hard stuff (architecture, debugging, understanding why something is broken) still needs human brains.

The best articles on this tag are the ones that acknowledge both sides: AI accelerates the mechanical, but the human decides what to build and why. I'd love to see more of those balanced takes instead of the hot takes that go viral for the wrong reasons.
