> I have a harder job convincing a team member who spent several days manually coding something that they’ve headed in the wrong direction compared to one who built it with AI. The person doesn’t have a personal attachment to the AI written code. Of course that also means they don’t understand every line like they would if they wrote it manually, but the lack of attachment is certainly a benefit.
If the situation that you have to convince a programmer to stop working on something is something that happens more often than very rarely is in my opinion a strong sign of bad leadership. These are people who are really in love with what they are doing and are thus so attached to it, and you want to cast out this love for working?
So, the moral that I can only get from your post is:
- AI can be used as a mitigation for bad leadership.
- Programmers should care much less about the work that they do.
