I think you did. The argument (which may be wrong) is that agentic coding has a lower barrier to entry than hand-coding, and that since (barring AGI) there will remain a demand for hand-coding, that skill will become more valuable the more developers lose it, while agentic coding due to its lower barrier to entry will become less valuable. | ||

It sounds like PHP and JavaScript all over again. The barrier was low and a lot of slop was produced by their users. Eventually due to huge demand, a lot of sophisticated things emerged (think V8, various frameworks, other browser gymnastics and evolving standards, etc). | ||
