You Don't Have an AI Problem You Have a Thinking Problem.

I used to think AI was making me lazy. I was wrong. AI wasn't making me lazy I was using AI as an excuse not to think.

And once I noticed it, I started seeing the same pattern everywhere - in my own code, in PRs I reviewed, in Slack messages that said "AI said this should work" like that was the end of the conversation.

So let me ask you the same question I had to ask myself: When you hit a hard problem, what's your first instinct?

Do you think? Or do you open your AI assistant?

Be honest. Nobody's watching. That one-second decision might tell you more about your current development habits than your GitHub streak ever will.
