I totally do not get why AI coding proponents constantly seem to feel the need to argue that "one day" coding through AI will work. As if you truly must be prepared for this day or "adapted" to AI as the article argues.

That day will either happen or not in my lifetime. If it happens, no amount of interacting with shitty 2025 tools will prepare me for that because as soon as any such tool would actually understand what it's doing, no amount of weird coping strategies people develop for the current generation of tools will be necessary or work anymore.

So I can just sit back, program as I always did and just wait for the day till this stuff is actually more efficient than me in coding. Then I switch to that tool and no amount of prompt massaging knowledge from yesteryears will help me with that.

And then I need to wait for the tool solving what's usually really holding me up in my work, namely guessing the best future design based on incomplete current information from the present.

When that day comes, I will start to worry about my job. Not earlier.

We're also at the peak of "mt. stupid" in the Dunning-Krueger graph of LLMs for programming. All prognostication is suspect.
