The original title is "AI fatigue?" which is only 2 words - too short and vague. I need to rewrite it based on the summary.

Original: AI fatigue?

Short summary

A developer reflects on 13+ months of heavy AI use, noting dramatic code quality improvements but wrestling with existential questions about skill relevance. Rather than replacement, the author imagines a future where code review, decision-making, and architectural judgment replace line-by-line writing—though this may cost the craft's smaller satisfactions.

  • AI code quality has improved dramatically; focus shifts to validation and judgment
  • Developers face an identity shift: traditional coding skill may no longer be primary value
  • Trade-off is real—efficiency gains against loss of hands-on craftsmanship and problem-solving flow

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
