This kind of take is just, let’s put it mildly, shallow.

We never complained about CAD systems replacing people who were drafting blueprints manually, not to mention all kinds of automation tools that replaced factory workers.

Why should AI coders be the same? If you can automate it, humans shouldn’t really be wasting their times on it.

There is nothing intellectual in pulling someone’s code from github to piece together some software by copy-pasting snippets.
