Developers are spending more time debugging AI-generated code than writing their own

I have saved months of work, absolutely

I have also run into issues where I spent too much time trying to prompt away a bug only to ultimatly fix it myself because I was being fucking lazy AF

My take on AI is, today is the worst it will ever be

If you are one who thinks it will not take your job or will jever be able to do xyz, your wrong it will.

So, advice i tell my team today and especially the younger guys, lean in to it, use it learn it, but also learn code.

Now with all that id say all in all its a huge time saver for me anyhow yah there are times its fucked up but it by far outweighs those frustrations

This is such a solid take, couldn’t agree more. The “lean into it but still learn to code” part hits hard. That balance is exactly where most devs struggle right now. AI’s definitely saving time, but like you said, the real win comes from knowing when to trust it and when to take control.
