The AI tool doesn't know what good looks like. It knows what common looks like. If you're thinking clearly about the problem, it'll help you build the right thing fast. If you're not... it'll help you build the wrong thing fast. Same tool. The difference is you.
That's the uncomfortable version. And it's the whole point of this post.
The Trap Is Comfortable
You sit down with Claude Code, describe what you want, and twenty minutes later there's a working feature on your screen. It feels incredible. It feels like you just got better at your job.
That feeling is the trap.
