A junior developer who got hired at a startup used AI non-stop to keep up.

It worked for weeks until he crashed and burned.

He'd built a house of cards that he couldn't keep up. The AI tools went in doom loops or just added more sloppy code that his team wouldn't accept.

Turns out they hired a prompt engineer instead of a coder.

We're in uncharted territory my friends.

You can't just NOT use AI but when should you start? How much is too much?

Let's explore a path to learning code with AI that won't make you another prompt engineer.
