AI Is the GPS That Made Me Forget How to Read a Map There's a moment I keep having. I open a problem. A bug, a blank component, a feature I need to figure out. And before I've even read it fully - before my brain has had five seconds to actually think - my hand is already moving. Tab. New chat. Paste. And the worst part? I don't even notice I'm doing it anymore. It happened again last week. I was staring at a layout bug. Nothing serious. The kind of thing I've fixed a hundred times. But something felt uncomfortable about just. sitting with it. About not knowing the answer immediately.
