Bindu Reddy warns AI reliance may erode coding skills
Technology
Bindu Reddy, CEO of Abacus AI, is worried that programmers might be losing their core coding skills because they're leaning too much on AI tools.
She pointed out on X (formerly Twitter) that while these tools can speed things up, they might leave coders less prepared to fix problems when things go wrong.
Reddy's post sparks AI reliance debate
Reddy's post kicked off a lively debate among tech professionals.
Some agree with her, saying too much reliance on AI could make future developers less skilled at the basics.
Others feel it's just how the industry is evolving.
Finding a balance (using AI without forgetting how to code) is key, especially as junior roles start to shift and the tech landscape keeps changing.
