Only that it isn't, and that millions of professionals, including myself, use agentic AI successfully to implement high quality software.

That there is no lack of people delivering low quality using AI does not change this.

I like how you self-associate. Do you really belong to the first group, or is that what you think you are.

there is also quite enough fields in which AI generated code is just not even allowed to touch the codebase to begin with.

		There surely is code so critical that not fully understanding every line of it is not an option. That's probably the rare exception. Even in finance everyone is using AI.

You don't get the nuance that there are people who enjoy the writing the code part more than they enjoy the handholding and hitting enter on a prompt part. And they write it fast or concise enough to not need to prompt engineer bicker with a machine.

And as soon as an edge case pops up that your model will have never been able to hear about because it hasn't been released publicly, security vuln, whatever, you'll get a "fix" confidently hallucinated at you and be none the wiser.

There's going to be a huge pendulum swing with all the llm zombies and sanewashing it like this isn't helping anyone.

All of this just oozes junior engineer if you're even employed in the field at all.

I do get that some people enjoy the manual process more than they enjoy building the product.

It doesn't give you the right to insult my expertise, and frankly your arguments sound like things that one would make up despite little actual experience using AI to develop software.

		How can one insult something one knows nothing about. Tell us what sort of expert are you instead of patting yourself on the back. Anybody can come here and claim they're bigger experts than you. Will you believe them? Maybe you're a big ego with rubbish "engineering" skills.
