I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately claiming AI has ruined coding forever, and I’m not really convinced. Even before AI showed up, a huge part of development was already searching Stack Overflow, digging through GitHub repos, and copy pasting snippets just to get something working. That was normal. The difference now is that tools like Cursor, Bolt, or Cosine generate a starting point instead of you stitching together pieces from ten different tabs. You still have to read the code, understand what it’s doing, and adjust it to fit your actual problem. If anything it feels a bit more refined than before. Instead of blindly pasting code from some random repo, you’re guiding the tool, iterating, and shaping the output with your own logic. The thinking part never really went away. I’m curious how other people see it though. Do these tools actually change how you approach solving problems, or is it just a faster version of what developers were already doing for years? submitted by /u/Tough_Reward3739
