Sometimes I could solve in 15 mins, a bug I had been chasing for days. In other cases, it is simpler to write codes by hand - as AI either does not solve a problem (even a simple one), or does, but at a cost of tech debt - or it takes longer than doing things manually.
AI is just one more tool in our arsenal. It is up to us to decide when to use them. Just because we have a hammer does not mean we need to use it for screws.

This phrase, when taken religiously, would keep us writing purely in assembly - as there is always "why this new language", "why this framework", "why LLMs".
Most tools we have been using are not probabilistic. I use syntax highlighting, autocompletion, refactoring because they work close to 100% of the time. So my question really is if using a tool that works some % of the time is worth it.
