These takes are growing increasingly tiresome, I have to admit. They are pretty much all just tacit admissions of some kind of skill issue with this new class of tool, but presented with a sheen of moral outrage. I don’t think anyone’s buying it anymore. Figure it out.


What kind of skill does it require to let LLMs write 100% of your code? I'm genuinely asking, what's the hard part that a pre-LLM developer is fundamentally incapable of doing? Is it running the agents in a loop? Or along a state machine? Running them in parallel? Because honestly none of that sounds like anything an experienced software dev shouldn't be able to pick up in two weekends.


The worst are the anecdotal poster claiming that they are faster and more correct than an LLM nearly all the time.

If that's not delusional thinking I don't know what is.


Even worse is the "true believers" who without any sort of justification will just declare that "everyone is cooked!"..
