I think for some folks their job really is just about coding. For me that was rarely true. I've written very little code in my career. Mostly design work, analyzing broken code, making targeted fixes...

I think these days coding is 20% of my job, maybe less. But HN is a diverse audience. You have the full range of web programmers and data scientists all the way to systems engineers and people writing for bare metal. Someone cranking out one-off Python and Javascript is going to have a different opinion on AI coding vs a C/C++ systems engineer and they're going to yell at each other in comments until they realize they don't have the same job, the same goals or the same experiences.
