Re: craft vs git 'er dun, I don't think these have to be mutually exclusive. AI-boosted development is definitely different from the old ways, but the craft approach is a mindset and AI is just another tool.
In some ways, I find that agent-assisted development opens doors to producing even higher quality code. Little OCD nitpicks, patterns that appear later in development, all the nice but not really necessary changes...these time-consuming refactors are now basically automated in 1-shot by an agent.
People who rush to ship the minimum were writing slop long before LLMs. At least now we have these new tools to refactor the slop faster and easier than ever.
