My impression is that AI coding is on a "pick two of three" triangle: scope, ship speed, and correctness. Small tools are (speed + correctness) fast prototypes are (speed + scope) and big projects are (scope + correctness). Every project that tries to be all three degrades to "fast prototype."

But I was told on Mastodon that using AI for coding is like picking "fast" twice…

I said it was a skill issue but that wasn't taken well for some reason

You know what sucks is, that is such a derisive statement but it IS an important part of parsing what's happening. There is a skillset to AI coding that keeps getting discounted
