👨‍💻 AI doesn't have to make you lazy

People worry that using AI makes you lazy as a developer.

Like, if you're offloading stuff to a tool, maybe you're not really thinking anymore. You just let it code for you.

But honestly, I've found it can actually make you less lazy.

It helps you catch edge cases you might've skipped. It makes it easier to write docs, or test things properly, or clean up parts of the code you've been avoiding.

All the stuff you know you should do, but usually don't because it's annoying or time-consuming — AI lowers the friction there.

So yeah, you can use it to cut corners. But you can also use it to be way more thorough.

It's kind of up to you.
