AI Wrote My Code. I Couldn't FEEL It.

Dev.to AI
Generative AI AI Tools

I've been using AI to write code for a while now. It's fast, it's getting accurate, and the spec-first workflows are genuinely good. But I keep running into this feeling that I can't shake: when I let AI do too much, I feel disconnected to the codebase. I posted about this on r/ExperiencedDevs and the response confirmed something I was hoping for. It's not just me. TLDR: Going fully agentic with AI coding made me faster but left me unable to understand my own codebase.
