I still think this is mostly people who never could hack it at coding taking to the new opportunities that these tools afford them without having to seriously invest in the skill, and basking in touting their skilless-ness being accepted as the new temporary cool.

Which is perhaps what they should do, of course. Any transition is a chance to get ahead and redefine yourself.

Just FYI, this is the attitude that causes pro-AI people to start shit-talking anti-AI folks as Luddites who need to learn to use the tools.

Agents are a quality/velocity tradeoff (which is often good), if you can't debug stuff without them that's a problem as you'll get into holes, but that doesn't mean you have to write the code by hand.

I enjoy new technology in general, so I very much keep up with the tools and also like using them for the things they do well at any given moment. I'm not among the Luddites, FWIW. I think there's a lot of legitimately great building going on right now.

Note though we're talking about "not reading code" in context, not the writing of it.
