# From coding to orchestration, why critical thinking matters in the AI age

**[All Things Open](https://daily.dev/sources/allthingsopen)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Software consultant Adhithi Ravichandran shares how AI has transformed engineering workflows, accelerating boilerplate code, documentation, and test generation by 10x. She highlights Vercel's v0 as a tool enabling non-designers to prototype quickly, and discusses responsible AI use with sensitive data via MCP servers and local LLM instances. A key warning: over-reliance on AI tools risks eroding critical thinking skills, and pricing models could shift dramatically. Engineers are evolving from coders to orchestrators, but must retain judgment about when AI output is accurate versus hallucinated.
