I think for most people that do not get value out of AI assisted coding, its a skill or learning issue. I don't care how good of a developer you consider yourself to be. If in 2025, these tools do not provide you significant (to almost absurd) value, you just do not know how to use them, or are to stubborn to push past the initial learning curve. Alternatively, maybe... programming is changing so much with AI, that you just might not see what's happening right infront of your eyes because its so foreign to all the other paradigms in the past.

In 2025 I am about 800-900 hours deep into using Cursor, blowing through 500 credits each 2 days (500 credits = 20$). I also organize a local "vibe code" workshop and meetup, with people from all sorts of experience levels, from no coding experience, to twice my senior. And what I am seeing is that what separates those from those who are good at using AI and those who are not, generally is a level of rigid stubbornness.

I can't wait for time to do its course here and those people who now are "all nuts" to slowly see programming of the past become an old relic.
