Ask HN: Programming and Startups in the Age of AI

I am not at all an AI doomer, I am extremely pumped about what AI can bring to software development.

One thing I have posted here about before was a feeling of becoming slightly stupider and lazy each time I ask one of the plethora of AI coding assistants to do some of my work. To combat this, I pretty much stop myself using these tools, very similar to how I allow myself only 30 mins per day on HN :)

However, now I am trying to launch another company - and I have the feeling that I cannot allow myself to not leverage the possible speed benefits of AI generated code as its no longer an intellectual endeavour but rather a competitive one.

Does anyone out there feel similar, torn between true learning and pace of launching? If so, how do you deal with it? Do you try and keep yourself sharp in other ways?
