AI coding tools have turned “vibe coding” into the latest sensation—where you simply throw prompts at a machine and watch it spit out smart-looking code. It’s like ordering pizza, but instead of cheese, you get nested for-loops. Tempting, right?
But before you hang up your ‘Hello World’ hat, remember: behind every
AI-generated marvel is the not-so-glamorous world of bugs, technical debt, and
the occasional “why does my app delete *everything* on Fridays?”
Here’s the truth:
- AI can generate code: But it can’t teach you why that code makes sense, what
might explode in production, or how to untangle spaghetti logic six months
later.
- Fundamentals still rule: Want to spot a sneaky security flaw or tame that
rogue function? You’ll need old-school coding principles—AI just gives you a
faster shovel to dig with.
So, the next time someone says, “Anyone can code now,” remind them: “Sure, just
like anyone can drive… straight into a wall.”
Embrace the AI vibe. But keep your basics sharp—because *prompt engineering*
isn’t a replacement for *actual engineering*.
