AI coding assistants promise speed, but do they deliver? Explore data, developer insights, and security risks showing why AI feels faster but often slows production. Learn where tools like Cursor and Claude Code help, and where they fail.
I see myself as a project manager and executive producer. I know I don’t write that code, and I couldn’t even if I tried.
