Writing can help you escape AI delirium (cantible.com)

In a recent post, software developer Chris reflects on the transformative impact of AI tools like Claude Code and Codex on coding practices. While these tools have drastically accelerated product development, enabling the creation of MVPs in a fraction of the time, they have also led to significant drawbacks: a loss of focus and a tendency to outsource critical thinking. Without the need for meticulous coding, developers may rush into projects without fully engaging in the ideation process, resulting in numerous abandoned initiatives. Chris argues that writing has become an essential skill in this AI-driven landscape, serving as a tool for clarity and organization of thoughts. By articulating ideas through writing, developers can retain greater control over their projects and ensure they align with their vision. Emphasizing the importance of structured thinking, he plans to launch a new website to share his creations while simultaneously writing weekly articles on relevant topics. This initiative aims not only to showcase his projects but also to foster a community of thoughtful creators who recognize that effective writing can significantly enhance their endeavors in tech.
