> I know many talented engineers who hate AI coding.
People whos primary skill is coding, hate AI coding. No talented engineer hates AI coding. The distinction is this: a coder knows how to use their tools, an engineer knows how to work with people, understands product, process, users, and knows how to use their tools.
Talented engineers hate the HYPE around AI. And those of us old enough to remember sigh and think "This is just dreamweaver all over again". It is ESB's with "drag and drop" workflow tools. AI is just another useful tool that a good engineer can pick up and put down where appropriate.
As a talented engineer, I hate AI coding because it doesn't do what it says on the tin. If GLPs made people hallucinate weight loss that wasn't actually happening, I'd be angry about them too.
Was waiting to see this comparison. Glad to see that meritocracy is becoming the pejorative it was always meant to be. Meritocrats are unironically bigots.
