I kind of think this article misses the mark a little.
There is skill loss from heavy AI use.
But I want to acknowledge the awkward elephant in the room. AI Is making people too fast. I don't mean that a faster output is bad. It's a faster output and code rather than a full understanding and experience in producing the code. It's rewarding people who try to talk about business value rather than the people that are building and making safe decisions with deep knowledge.
AI: Yes, its good and it can produce some good solutions, however it ultimately doesn't know what it's doing and at the best of cases needs strong orchestrators.
We're in a cesspit of business driven development and they're not getting the right harsh and repulational punishments for bad decisions.
