its so funny watching crusty devs malding over AI. do you all write assembly code for your apps too? because who can trust those magic compiler things right?

AI is just another abstraction that allows you to do 10x with 1x the effort. either you'll learn to master it or you'll become obsolete

This argument warrants introspection for "crusty devs", but also has holes. A compiler is tightly engineered and dependable. I have never had to write assembly because I know that my compiled code 100% represents my abstract code and any functional problems are in my abstract code. That is not true in AI coding. Additionally, AI coding is not just an abstraction over code, but an abstraction over understanding. When my code compiles, I don't need to worry that the compiler misunderstood my intention.

I'm not saying AI is not a useful abstraction, but I am saying that it is not a trustworthy one.

I’d worry about mastering the shift key, first.
