Techie admits struggling to code without AI tools: ‘I don’t think I’ve learned much’
A techie working as a backend engineer for the past 11 months has shared an emotional post online, admitting to feeling like a “complete fraud” after realising how much work depends on AI tools.
In a Reddit post, the techie claimed that daily tasks at work often rely on AI tools such as Cursor and Claude. Most coding work, including building APIs and finishing assigned tasks are completed using suggestions generated by these tools.
