Emotionally attached … no, but damm I would not want to write code by hand again. I stand behind principles and years of development, so if enough time spent with ai on a task I would be happy to defend its quality, as I believe newcomers/juniors will try as well so I guess expected?

This reply makes me think that my original post also comes across as overly dismissive of reasonable debate around code changes.

As you've stated, years of development has made me expect a certain level of discourse as people will inevitably want to defend the quality if they think it's reasonable.

Maybe my post is a form of AI psychosis in itself....

Code was garbage before AI, now it's still garbage, but I don't have to take it out anymore. Amazing.

Juniors are doomed, nobody is writing anything ever again by hand.
