## Resource

A viral video from Brett Codes has put words to something many software developers are feeling: AI coding tools may increase output, but they can also drain the joy, purpose, and understanding out of the work. Matt and Mike discuss Brett’s decision to stop using AI, the pressure developers face to adopt it, and whether writing code by hand will survive as a career - or become a niche craft.
