   Something I’ve found myself saying a lot to my classes this semester, particularly the one using VS Code (which has comically overeager autocomplete even without the AI stuff bolted on), and I figured it’s a good one to post here:

   It’s fine to let the tool do the •typing• for you, but never let it do the •thinking• for you.
