The Paradox of AI Coding: Why Human Expertise is Becoming More Valuable

This perspective challenges the hype around AI coding assistants by highlighting a crucial paradox: as AI lowers the barrier to entry, deep fundamental engineering knowledge becomes a scarce and premium asset. Furthermore, it points out that accelerating code generation does not solve the real bottleneck of human feedback and testing. It serves as a stark reminder for developers to prioritize foundational skills over over-reliance on AI tools.
