Why AI Still Needs Human Developers

Hey there, tech fam! 👋 Let’s talk about something that’s been buzzing around lately: “Will AI replace developers?”

Spoiler alert: Nah, not really. Here’s the thing -> AI is cool and all (writing code, debugging, even refactoring), but let’s be real: it still needs us. Yep, humans. Let me break it down for you in plain ol’ English:

1. Context Is Everything

AI can write decent code, but it’s clueless about why the code needs to exist. It doesn’t know the bigger picture of your app or project. Without context, it’s like a painter working blindfolded.

2. Environment Setup Is a Thing

AI doesn’t configure your dev environment. You need to set up frameworks, tools, and dependencies to get things rolling — and that’s all you, my friend.

3. Complex Problems? AI Says Nope.

When it comes to intricate logic or designing robust architectures, AI stumbles. It can’t creatively solve problems or make decisions based on real-world tradeoffs. That’s where your brain shines.

4. AI Can Be… Reckless

Let’s face it: AI sometimes goes rogue. It can mess with working code, overwrite critical pieces, or even suggest deprecated syntax. If it were left unchecked, it might delete your entire site (yikes).

5. Documentation Is Still Human Turf
