Same here, I just limit my use of genAI to writing functions (and general brainstorming).

I only use the standard "chat" web interface, no agents.

I still glue everything else together myself. LLMs enhance my experience tremendously and I still know what's going on in the code.

I think the move to agents is where people are becoming disconnected from what they're creating and then that becomes the source of all this controversy.

This is the core difference. Just "gluing things together" satisfies you.

It's unacceptable to me.

You don't want to own your code at the level that I want to own mine.
