AI Codes Bugs, Not The Speed—Dev Panic Ensues
Martin Casado of a16z says AI coding tools like Cursor are like that gym membership you never use: 'Has that increased the velocity of the products coming out? I don’t think that much.' Developers still wrestle with the hard stuff, but AI is the coder's janitor, handling drudge work like tests and docs to create 'more robust, maintainable code bases with less bugs.' Bonus: AI has somehow made coding fun again, turning grumpy ancients back into 'old systems programmers' vibing at night. Meanwhile, AI's 100x engineer dreams face reality checks from fellow tech bigwigs.
