Reading code is now the bottleneck
Invest in tools to help you intently read and scrutinize AI generated code:
- eink monitor: read code for hours with zero eye strain, less visual noise
- sunlight: better sleep, attention, cognitive performance
- indoor plants: lower stress
there is still no substitute for perfectly understanding every single line of code in your codebase
i fall into the trap of just skimming through ai changes to "just make sure it looks good" all the time, and it makes me lose so much time to not perfectly understand every line
