Very well said.

Programming has always felt like converting thought-stuff into something that the computer can understand. That's still the same, it's just a different language, and much faster.

My hot take is: if people are saying AI code is bad, yet they're using cutting-edge models like Opus 5, then those same people are writing bad code even without AI.

I'm finding that AI today can write excellent code, as long as you plan, review, and help it along with a little guidance.

more and more of the thought stuff is being done by AI, let's not kid ourselves.
