"I built an app in 5 hours with AI!"
Cool. You built a demo.
Now spend 5 weeks making it actually work. And 5 months fixing what breaks.
AI tools make coding feel easy. You can create a nice-looking app with a backend in no time. Anyone can do it with the right prompts.
But here's the reality: building fast was never the hard part. Building something that lasts is.
Most AI-generated code skips the boring stuff that actually matters:
- How will it handle errors?
- Is it secure?
- Can you fix it when it breaks at 2 AM?
- Will your team understand it in 6 months?
But it's a tool, not a replacement for thinking. Your job as an engineer isn't just writing code anymore. It's reviewing what AI produces, catching problems early, and making sure it's built to last.
AI accelerates everything—including your mistakes.
Use it wisely.

It's 2031. No one works anymore. The world is an utopia. You can prompt AI to create anything you need.
I will still have not even opened an Ai app and rigorously do all the work with my hands, because I do not give a single fuck and I enjoy the process.
Oh king of the old ways, lead the revolution against AI 😂
