Don't let AI erode your focus.

If you frequent Hacker News regurlarly, you have likely noticed the buzz around engineers using AI (specifically Large Language Models, or LLMs) to tackle Computer Science problems. They can automate repetitive tasks, generate code snippets, help with brainstorming, assist in debugging, … and this can frees up engineers’ time and mental energy, which could be channeled into more complex, creative problem-solving. This reliance on readily available solutions, particularly for familiar problems, creates a real risk: engineers may inadvertently atrophy their own problem-solving skills, hindering their ability to tackle truly novel challenges.
