AI has changed the way developers write code.

Today, if you want a React component, an API route, a form validation function, a database query, or even a full feature structure, AI tools can generate it in seconds.

That is powerful.

But it also creates a new problem.

If AI can write code faster than us, then our value as developers cannot only depend on how quickly we type code.

Our real value will come from something deeper:

**Can we understand the requirement clearly?**

**Can we detect hidden bugs?**

**Can we review AI-generated code?**

**Can we identify risky assumptions?**

**Can we decide whether a solution is p
