Just Because AI Can Generate Code Doesn't Mean It's Good Code

There’s a fantasy floating around tech circles that AI is about to make software developers obsolete. The logic goes something like this: AI can write code now, therefore anyone can build software, therefore we don’t need programmers anymore. It’s a seductive idea if you’ve never actually shipped production software. I’ve been using AI coding assistants daily for well over a year now. Claude, Copilot, Cursor, the works.
