The Skill Amplifier: How Developer Expertise Determines AI Code Quality

AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor are skill multipliers that amplify the capabilities of whoever wields them.

This distinction is crucial as enterprises scale AI adoption—the technology amplifies judgment gaps rather than replacing the need for domain expertise and security awareness.
