AI coding assistants are becoming increasingly capable of understanding repositories, suggesting implementations, and generating code. But there is something I've been thinking about while developing CodeMeridian: What happens to our understanding of a codebase when an AI assistant makes every implementation decision for us? We can ask an assistant to fix a bug, refactor a service, or implement a feature. It might produce a working solution without us needing to understan
