AI didn't make me a worse coder. It made me a worse reviewer.
I built a lot of apps with AI last year and approved most of the code without really reading it. The research says the skill that decays isn't typing — it's the cognitive work underneath. Here's why every fix I've read (including my own first idea) is built to fail, and the one shape that isn't.

The Commit Was Named After the Wrong Half
I shipped a 4,600-line fix for 220 pages serving an empty shell to crawlers, and fixed a fifteen-line lookup bug beside it as an afterthought.
