After 8 years of manual coding, I’m finally learning agentic development, only because my job is tracking usage. I'm not a fan, and it’s worrying to see junior devs skip the basics and treat AI as an expert when it’s often just guessing. How often do you see people pushing AI code to PRs without actually knowing how it fits into the grand design?

you should establish clear patterns that align with how you want your code to look. it’s cool that their implementation works… but to make it maintainable, it needs to reflect your app’s style. then use ai to evaluate their pr one file at a time. finally have ur devs explain to you how it works and ask them if they considered alternate solutions that would optimize for time/space complexity.
Seeing juniors rely on AI without understanding the fundamentals is concerning. Tools like PracHub can help bridge that gap by providing real interview questions and coding challenges that emphasize essential programming skills.
It’s a new kind of problem introduced by ai generated code . People shipping code without understanding context.
It’s unavoidable that day is here. The best you can do is doing it tactfully and safely
I'm a fan but it's easily misused. Any great tool is an even better crutch. The future will be held by those who know how to use it correctly. Companies, and many devs, are behind on that distinction.
