AI Tools Are a Sword ⚔️
These days, almost every developer is using AI tools like Cursor or Lovable.
Some people say, “You can’t ensure quality with AI.”
Others say, “Just let AI do everything.”
Both camps are… a little wrong 😄
I use AI tools every day, and I strongly believe AI-driven development is no longer optional — it’s mandatory. Not a suggestion. A requirement.
But here’s the catch:
AI is a sword.
If you don’t know how to use a sword, you’ll probably hurt yourself.
That doesn’t mean swords are bad.
It means you should probably learn how to swing one before running into battle.
No one says, “Swords are dangerous, so I’ll fight the enemy with my bare hands.”
They learn the right technique.
AI tools work the same way.
Absolutely!!!
If you use them without intent, without understanding, and without reviewing the output — yes, you’ll get cut.
If you use them thoughtfully, with clear goals and good judgment — they make you faster, stronger, and more effective.
So the goal isn’t “don’t use AI.”
And it’s...
Exactly!
Hahaha. Funny toni!!!
