Question for fellow developers: can anyone code with AI?

Honestly, no. Not fully, especially if you've barely gone past "Hello World." Even with AI, one tiny bug can eat your whole afternoon, and a feature that sounds simple can take a week when you don't really know what you're looking at. You also need real exposure to how these coding agents actually work, or you'll burn through money fixing the same mistake five different ways before you figure out why.

AI closes the gap. It doesn't remove it.

What's your experience been like? Did it get easier once something clicked, or is it still a grind?
