Excessive Use of AI Does Not Take Away Your Ability of Writing Code, but ...

I've said this before: if you keep using AI, and don't write code yourself, you'll lose that particular skill.

But I think I was not entirely correct in that conclusion! 🤔

What you really lose if you keep using AI for everything, is not your skills, but your ability to focus.

Being able to focus, being able to use your brain deeply, i.e. being able to enter the flow state, is the true high level skill that empowers human ingenuity in every knowledge base field.

If you lose that, what do you actually have?

I hope you'll give it a thought! 🥰
