This Is How Programmers Should Use AI - Casey Muratori

Casey Muratori shares his nuanced perspective on AI programming tools. While he personally abstains from using AI for coding because he genuinely enjoys the act of programming itself, he doesn't broadly oppose it. His concerns center on developers adopting AI before they can critically evaluate the quality of generated code, and the downstream risks to security, performance, and reliability. He argues that experienced programmers who can objectively assess AI output and verify productivity gains can use it responsibly, but warns against uncritical adoption.
