What it does
AI coding assistants are powerful, but they raise an interesting question: are developers slowly outsourcing their own skills? Atrophy is an open-source tool that analyzes your Git history to understand how you code — what you write yourself vs what AI might be generating. Instead of analyzing code quality, Atrophy analyzes developer behavior. It helps you see which skills you're exercising, which ones you're skipping, and whether AI is becoming a crutch.
🧬 Atrophy — your coding skills have a half-life. Analyze your git history to see what you wrote, what AI wrote, and which skills are fading. - kvcops/Atrophy

Dev Atrophy Test2025 · devatrophy.com · ▲180Hey HN, I'm Per from Scrimba (YC S20), the code-learning platform. There's been a lot of talk lately about whether AI tools are causing skill atrophy amongst developers. We get a front-row seat to this, and we see more and more students struggle with basic concepts, and building apps on their own. This is almost always a consequence of relying too much on ChatGPT and vibe coding tools. So we built a small side project: https://devatrophy.com It's a test of your core web dev knowledge — no handholding, no back rubs, no AI autocomplete. Just you, your brain, and 10 questions. There…

I made an iOS app to gauge AI over-reliance and AI psychosisMay 2026 · apps.apple.com · ▲5Atrophy is an iOS self-report quiz aimed at software engineers who use LLMs heavily enough at work to wonder if they're trending toward AI over-reliance or some form of AI psychosis. I built it because I noticed a pattern: formerly AI-skeptical coworkers now open every standup or design discussion with "I asked Claude..." or "Claude told me..." for technical problems and design decisions. I've felt the same pull myself to delegate every task or problem to AI. It's easy to lean on these tools for almost any amount of critical thinking or problem solving, and I'm worried about what it means…
