I used to write all my code comments by hand

Now I just let the AI in my editor do it after I finish a function. The switch happened about six months ago when I saw how much time it saved on a big project. Has anyone else found a small AI tool that just quietly took over a boring part of their job?

Honestly, the quiet takeover is real, but it makes me a bit nervous. Started using an AI tool to draft all my routine emails and status updates. Now my own writing voice feels weaker, like a muscle I stopped using. The time save is huge, but I wonder if I'm losing a small, important skill without even noticing.

That "weaker muscle" feeling just means you're getting better at editing, which is the real skill.

My mom used to have all our family recipes memorized. Now she just asks her phone for substitutions and cooking times. It's the same quiet shift.
