I feel like I am underestimating how repetitive the codebases you work on are.
But personally, I get enough novel problems in programming where there is little repetition and I get to learn new patterns.
I am quite young so I might have not reached the ceiling you might be encountering.
A part of getting better at programming is learning how to get more done with less code. Using AI removes the incentive to learn how to create this leverage.
I agree that typing less is a benefit.
But most people learned math by doing basic addition and multiplication a bunch, it works the same with programming.
Well, getting over the finish line does not make you a better bike rider, it's the actions between the start and finish that refine the skill. AI would be like doing a race on an e-bike.
When it comes to the term "shipping", I do not really understand it.
I wonder where does it the coding end and shipping starts.
Pressing submit is not a skill, after all.
