Yes, for me, it is a form of narrow intelligence. Being unable to grasp the big picture.

I don't mean this offensively; it is what it is. If you are aware of who you are, then good, but if the issue is that a lot of those are not even aware of their strength or their limitations. Just like humans got humbled with chess, AI is humbling those coders.

It will be coming for me some day soon I'm sure, but I'm no more humble than I was before so far. (extremely humble!!!) I don't talk about it too much on here, as it would be useless, but I haven't gotten too many positive results out of the AI-assisted coding tools. And yes, I know I'm holding it wrong.

I think you are not the type I'm referring to.

But again for me, the appeal for software was creativity. Our ability to shape ideas and experiences.

I never cared about proving my intelligence or arguing about syntax. If the code is maintainable, readable, and works, all good. But I corporate, I was debating over PRs, mostly subjective opinions, a form of intellectual game..

And the issue, discussion is all about convention and trivialities..
