I think of themselves as very practical - I drive a manual, I fix my own cars, I do my own house projects, I cook my own meals.

Which is part of the reason these anti-AI screeds fall on deaf ears for me. My generation has willingly abandoned all of these legitimately useful hard-skills But there's also nothing preventing you from picking and choosing what you care about.

What's wrong with choosing to care about coding manually then?

I'm not actually against manual coding. I just think people need to be honest about about why it's valuable.

I don't work on my own car because I believe that everyone should fix their own cars. But I think enough people should be knowledgeable and have these skills in society - if for no other reason than to keep mechanics and automakers and dealerships honest. I am not personally upset if you work on your own used car or take it to your dealership.

I am against the idea that everyone should somehow be against AI coding.
