Confession: I’ve been using Claude Code to write all my code for me. And I think it’s making me worse at the thing I’ve loved doing for twelve years. I can clearly see how AI coding is rewiring our brains – it makes developers crave instant gratification instead of deep understanding, and reduces us to gamblers who pull levers for the next hit of working code. If this is happening to me, someone who learned to code in the pre-AI era, what’s it doing to junior developers who’ve nev...| N’s Blog
AI is incredibly powerful, but it needs guidelines. “Vibe coding” might work initially, but as the project grows, it creates more mistakes than it solves. After fixing countless AI implementations, I’ve distilled it down to three core principles that actually work. The current wave of AI tools promises to 10x your development speed. What they don’t mention is how they can also 10x your debugging time if implemented poorly. I’m building tools to solve exactly this problem, and I’m ...| N’s Blog
Last Tuesday at 1 AM, I was debugging a critical production issue in my AI dev tool. As I dug through layers of functions, I suddenly realized — unlike the new generation of developers, I was grateful that I could actually understand my codebase. That’s when I started thinking more about Karpathy’s recent statements on vibe coding. For those who missed it, Andrej Karpathy recently shared his thoughts on what he calls “vibe coding” — essentially surrendering code comprehension to A...| N’s Blog
