Same here. I just want to write code myself. AI is great for routine tasks, but the rest is mine.

This came out of my own experience building and releasing an iOS application. AI genuinely helped with many things during development, but I realised that the parts I enjoy most — architecture, problem solving, and building systems — are exactly the parts I don’t want to delegate.

These days, AI companies don’t even pretend anymore.

LLMs can draw (play music, write books), but they imitate, not create.

AI is unlikely to make people like me, or most already established professionals, lazy. But it absolutely could affect younger people who are still learning and building fundamentals.

That raises a pretty serious question about regulating AI usage in education, and it’s surprising how little attention that discussion still gets.

Maybe I didn't express myself very well, but I meant that the juniors will return.

Soon, cheaper models will be called junior developers.

I don’t really vibe code either. I work a 9-to-5 and still shipped my own app to the App Store. Not sure why I’d want to speed things up if it takes away the enjoyment.

And the bubble just keeps growing!

Unfortunately, even AI-generated “bullshitting” still needs to be double-checked. I don’t really see how it saves time.

For me, it’s meditation — it really helps me recover.

I see this as a temporary phase driven by AI hype.

In the long run, strong senior specialists — in design, development, and other IT fields — will likely be more valuable than ever. Meanwhile, those who rely entirely on AI without developing fundamentals may never reach that level.

AI isn’t really capable of creating truly complex solutions or top-tier UI/UX — it mostly recombines existing ideas.

So it’s probably better to focus on your craft and avoid burnout — that’s what will matter.

This actually feels like a winning strategy, especially in the era of AI.

I think all of this has a dark future. And this can be argued based on how AI works.

AI systems look at code on the internet that was written by humans. This is smart, clean code. And they learn from it. What they produce — unreadable spaghetti code — is the maximum they can squeeze out of the best code written by humans.

In the near future, AI-generated code will flood the internet, and AI will start training on its own code. On the other hand, juniors will forget how to write good code.

And when these two factors come together in the near future, I honestly don’t know what will happen to the industry.

Big tech is inflating the AI bubble. Because of that, I find it hard to fully trust these kinds of claims — especially from complex systems like Google.

Thanks, appreciate it — tried to keep it simple and focused.

Because “AI” is largely a marketing label. Under the hood, it’s essentially a prediction model.

Probably not the best site for promoting apps. The functionality isn’t very obvious — it’s hard to understand what to drag or where to tap. It also makes you wonder whether the apps themselves are just as “poetic”, when simple would probably be better.

Since the beginning of the AI hype, I’ve felt that the real winners would still be real engineers.

I’m pretty sure coding is doing just fine, despite AI.

This feels like a flawed test. The paragraphs are taken out of context, so the main idea of the work disappears. And the authors are unclear — there are plenty of human writers who write worse than AI. It might be more productive to accept that AI probably won’t create, in the human sense, and move forward with that assumption.

They still deliver quality. There was a period when iPhones no longer felt unique — once smartphones became common, it seemed like progress had plateaued. But the M-series processors changed the game. Apple’s MacBooks now feel almost unbeatable again. And the ecosystem is still incredibly polished.

Nope, sorry

Regarding the game page, it feels like it would benefit from more screenshots and a more dynamic video.

As a groove-oriented developer, I instantly fell for them. I can’t really explain why they stuck with me, but they’re hard to forget.

I don’t use any LLMs for development, and that’s one of the reasons I’ve been a successful developer.

I mostly use AI as an assistant, not as a replacement. I actually enjoy the process of programming and learning new things along the way. I’m not really interested in outsourcing that to an LLM just to save a few minutes.

Very timely article! :)
