AI is Changing How We Code

AI coding tools are completely changing the software development landscape. Developers now rely on tools like GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and ChatGPT to generate code, fix bugs, scaffold tests, and accelerate routine tasks. Code that once took hours can now be produced in minutes; sometimes seconds. Prompting is quickly becoming a core developer skill.

AI is here to stay. The promise is undeniable: higher output, faster delivery, and fewer repetitive tasks. But with this leap in speed, a deeper question emerges:

Are we building well - or just fast?

This article explores that question through the lens of Software Craftsmanship, offering a pragmatic perspective on how to embrace AI without sacrificing the principles that make great software possible.
