It's not really much of an insight that people who like programming itself don't want to outsource it to an AI, whereas people who like building things do.

You're probably right, but this dividing line only became prominent now that AI coding agents polarized the community across it. This in itself is interesting to me.

Yes, definitely, I just mean that all the groups can be condensed down to those two.

		I guess there are some who would've enjoyed coding, but circumstances pulled them away from it. The word "intimacy" comes to mind. If you lose intimate relationship with code writing (or never gain one), you will be more okay with AI. Perhaps I'm trying to point out that sometimes you lose it accidentally, while still instinctively thinking that you enjoy writing code.
