Garry Newman just dropped the most poetic take on AI coding tools I've ever heard. The guy who built Garry's Mod basically said relying too heavily on AI for programming is like watching so much adult content that you can't... perform creatively anymore. And honestly? He's not wrong.

When you let Copilot or ChatGPT write all your code, your brain stops doing the heavy lifting. You lose that ability to architect solutions from scratch, to think through problems, to actually create instead of just prompting. It's the difference between being a chef and being really good at ordering DoorDash.

The comparison is crude but brilliant. Both involve instant gratification that atrophies your natural abilities. Your problem-solving muscles need exercise, not an autocomplete button. Sure, AI tools are useful—but if you can't code without them, you're not a developer. You're a prompt engineer with a dependency problem.
