this is mostly a pretty great summation of where we are with AI coding. The conundrum is described in the section "Your Brain on AI" and "Finding Your Threshold" is a great description of where a developer needs to strike the balance, noting correctly the "I never use AI ever" position for anyone senior is crazy at this point (if I were a junior, I'd probably tell them it's OK to ask an LLM for verbal advice, but not to actually write code, if they hope to learn anything), while also noting the ongoing issues (again for seniors, cognitive decline IMO is the biggest)
