AI coding assistants are eroding fundamental developer skills like reading documentation, searching effectively, and critical thinking. Developers increasingly rely on LLMs for instant answers rather than learning to break down problems and evaluate solutions. This shift has real business consequences: Tailwind CSS laid off 75% of engineers because developers no longer visit documentation sites to discover paid products, and Stack Overflow traffic has collapsed. The economic sustainability of AI tools is questionable, with costs far exceeding current pricing. The real risk isn't job loss but the degradation of problem-solving abilities across the industry.
