This guy has been against AI from the very onset, and no matter what happens with AI going forward I think he'll always poopoo it.

This is the correct take. People who are closed minded and against this tool will always be against it, because they feel or think AI coding is an existential threat to them. If you think AI coding is going to replace your job, well, perhaps your job was just not all that important in the first place.

Sorry that sucks to hear, but the real talent lies in systems thinking. How to make things look good. How to make it usable for humans. How to make something exciting and remove the blocker that was programming effort. Everything else is still a hard problem. And those are all people problems. Just because computers can now spit out computer code doesn't mean all the problems are solved.

Case in point: As I comment on this article. The US govt has asked Claude to stop the export of the latest Fabel and Mythos models. And Anthropic decided it was just easier to disable those models for all users.

These things aren't simple decisions. And we're just barely getting started with AI coding. Can't wait for what 1 year from now looks like :)
