This reminded me of a video I saw recently where someone mentioned that piracy is most often a service problem not a price problem. That back in the days people used torrents to get movies because they worked well and were better than searching for stuff at blockbuster, then, came Netflix, and they flocked to it and paid the premium for convenience without even thinking twice and piracy decreased.

I think the analogy here holds, people are lazy, we have a service and UX problem with these tools right now, so convenience beats quality and control for the average Joe.

Lazy is a bit pejorative.

Other than the people that hang out here, most people don't want to write software, they want to make problems go away and things happen and make their lives easier and more fun.

we can magically have the ai do things for us now... for most people that's perfect. it opens programming up to others but do they care how it happens? does your ceo care what programming language or library you use (if they do do you want to work there)?
