That's not it at all. Past advances in developer tools didn't need this sort of force-feeding because developers saw the value and willingly adopted them. The "forcing" was the developers demanding the tools from their employers.

This time, it's exactly backwards. I posit that's because there is no clear value in excess of the costs with these tools.

Nice fairytale. You could make similar stories and replace AI with "stimulant" "SCRUM" or "learning touch typing and emacs"

There is a point in there for sure. But I'm yet to meet a Luddite IRL. It's the extent of AI use that differs and where people want to use it. I think AI can fold into "tool to solve problems and make impact" and we can focus on solving problems again and AI can be a part of that.

I’ve read some blog posts by Geoff and there’s a useful idea here but it’s surrounded by so much storytelling.

To dig up the lede: LLMs are proving useful in some instances, consider staying abreast of developments here to find ways to do a better job as time goes by. The exact nature of “better job” and the timeframe along which that reveals itself are left as exercises for the reader
