When I started coding I did it in notepad. I thought it was hardcore and cool. I was young and stupid. Then I adopted an IDE and I became much better at writing code.

To me AI is just another tool that helps me solve problems with code. An auto complete on steroids. A context aware stack overflow search. Not wanting to adopt or not even work somewhere where colleagues use it, sounds to me like coding in notepad AND in the process scoffing those who use an IDE.

Besides, if AI gets to the point it can replace you, it will replace you. Better to start learning how to work with it so you can fill whatever gap AI can't.

I still mainly use a text editor after several decades, and do a lot of thinking and initial design with pencil and paper. IDEs just get in the way.

I've seen the type of code AI generates. It might work, but if you think that's good or that massaging it so it works will make you any better, I have some bad news for you...
