I Created My First AI-assisted Pull Request and I Feel Like a Fraud

I used AI to contribute to an open source project. The code was merged. I didn’t learn anything and I felt bad as an engineer.

When you realize that being a great "programmer", isn't about writing the most code, but getting the job done...

AI will click as another tool in the toolbox.

Its hard for me to disagree more, being a great programmer is completely orthogonal to how fast you "get the job done."
