The same programmers that shame others for using AI tools like Codex, Claude are also secretly using it themselves.
Whether at work or personal projects or anything else.
Nobody wants to admit it, but they are using AI.
Whether at work or personal projects or anything else.
Nobody wants to admit it, but they are using AI.
In the end you and I and everyone else will be using AI for work and personal use.
No amount of shaming others using AI would stop it.
The bigger cope will be engineers losing their jobs by not adapting to the change that is happening in front of them.
I also think we should differentiate between programming to get a program you can do something else with, programming to understand the machine, and programming to give the programmer a logical challenge to keep their skills sharp.
These technologies aren’t just going to go away just because you choose not to use them, or if you change careers, retire or whatever.
