I think the issue is Hacker News users are so deep in the space that they're surrounded by AI noise at work every day and might even be forced to use it every day. So they've essentially accepted that it's a useful invention. There's this foundational, overwhelmingly positive assumption that goes unsaid, while 100% of their comment text is pure criticism and negativity. But in their brain, it comes across as maybe like 1% criticism and negativity and 99% positive lived experience. So they don't realize how bizarrely negative they're all sounding about a good thing. Of course, there are some people do really completely hate AI coding, but I don't think the general sentiment one gets from reading hacker news comments literally is accurate. It has to be read in context. At my work, people prefix their critical comments with "nit -" to reassure the reader that it's overall good.
