How AI is Changing Software Development
AI now drafts code, reviews it, and explains it. Here's what that changes about the work, and what it doesn't.
A few years ago, AI in development meant autocomplete that occasionally guessed your next variable name. Today it drafts entire functions, reviews diffs, and explains unfamiliar code in seconds.
The interesting shift isn't raw speed. It's where your attention goes. Less time typing boilerplate means more time spent on design, edge cases, and the parts of a system that matter most.
I treat AI like a very fast junior pair: useful for first drafts, dangerous if trusted blindly. Every suggestion gets read, tested, and questioned before it ships.
