i'm not sure i agree. maybe if you're "vibe-coding", but not if you're using AI as an assistant. a good abstraction makes it hard to write bugs, so telling AI to use a certain library (which i know to be high quality) is a good way to constrain the types of bugs i have to look for when reviewing the code.

once AI reaches a certain level of accuracy, it will seem foolish to make it use abstractions built for humans
and once the "accurate" AI accidentally wrote bugs, it will seem even more foolish for humans to debug the binaries built by AI.
