Developers make this mistake all the time: It's a fallacy to compare a good coder against an AI. The coder will always be better. This is how many professional justify their hesitation to use these new tools. I've had this conversation dozens of times, mostly with the older generation. 📢 The comparison you should be making is between a good *coder without and AI* against a good *coder with an AI*. You're not competing against the machine. You're competing against humans that master the machine. You will either learn to use the machine or you will be replaced. There's no nice way to say this.
